Iranian top nuclear envoy Ali Larijani said in a meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao Friday that Iran is committed to peaceful use of(via)
nuclear technology.
"We oppose obtaining nuclear weapons and we will peacefully use nuclear technology under the framework of the Nonproliferation Treaty," he said. "But," he warned, "if we are threatened, the situation may change."
Larijani also said Iran's situation is "totally different" from that of North Korea, which conducted its first atomic test Oct. 9. International talks aimed at Pyongyang's nuclear disarmament have failed.
"North Korea already has nuclear weapons, we are not after nuclear weapons," Larijani said. "It is not part of our doctrine, political or national doctrine, to go after nuclear weapons.
That's code, btw, they always feel threatened by the US and Israel.
