Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday morning that Tehran will not retreat "an iota" from its nuclear right in spite of growing pressure from enemies.
The president, addressing residents of the border city of Baneh, 270km northwest of Kordestan's capital, Sanandaj, before leaving for Saqqez, 200km north of the capital, said "resistance is the key to victory." The enemies are putting obstacles in the way of Iranians' progress in the field of peaceful nuclear energy, President Ahmadinejad said, adding "they want to keep their monopoly on nuclear energy and thereby dictate on nations."
"However, they (enemies) should know that the people of Iran will resist and will defend their legitimate right," stressed the president, according to IRNA.
