Iran may pull out of NPT; U.S. weighing sanctions without UN

Iran may develop nuclear weapons and pull out from the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if international pressure against its nuclear program continues, a senior Iranian official warned yesterday.

The statements made by Iranian Parliament Vice Speaker Mohammad Reza Bahonar mark the first time a senior Iranian official specifically mentioned the development of nuclear weapons as part of the country's nuclear program, which to date Tehran had insisted was for peaceful purposes.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday that his country poses no threat to Israel, and that no one can deprive Iran of its right to nuclear technology.





Ahmadinejad's defiant stance comes days ahead of a United Nations deadline for Iran to halt uranium enrichment work.

"No one can deprive a nation of its rights based on its capabilities," he said in a speech to inaugurate a new phase of a heavy-water reactor project southwest of Tehran.

US just grabs all of Iran's billions and then sanctions... We never ever found out where Saddam's billions went???

...that's ever intentionally detonated atomic bombs over densely populated major cities. How can such a barbaric act ever be justified? That same nation is now the self appointed world policeman who will decide unilaterally which nations can and cannot pursue nuclear capability. And that same nation appears to be willing to enforce it's dictates with military force, to include the use of nuclear weapons.

Just can't imagine why anybody would have a problem with any of this, why do they hate America?
