Tehran:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said Iran is now a
nuclear country and that it has achieved nuclear know-how for
energy purposes, a media report said.
"Though the US and its allies have been exerting political and
propaganda pressure and have issued resolutions against Iran over
its nuclear programme, all their efforts have failed and Iran has
now become a nuclear country," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by
Press TV.
Addressing a gathering in northern Karaj city, the Iranian
president said cooperation rather than confrontation was the only
way to resolve issues related to Iran's nuclear energy programme.
"We are open to cooperation based on our rights," he said, warning
Western countries that Iran would give a "regretting" response to
anyone who "intends to prevent Iran from achieving its rights".
He termed the sanction resolutions passed by the UN against Iran
as "illegal" and said the sanctions would only "strengthen the
Iranian nation" and accelerate the pace of its progress.
