President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says Iran does not need
nuclear bombs to defend its territory and that the Islamic
Republic's principles are against nuclear weapons.
"It is right that the Iranian nation has many enemies but it
does not need a nuclear bomb to defend itself," Ahmadinejad
said in an interview with the Danish media on Wednesday.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran's principles are against
making a nuclear bomb and this is why we call for a global
nuclear disarmament," IRNA quoted the Iranian president as
saying.
"Nuclear bombs and weapons of mass destruction are threats
to humanity," he added.
Asked if anyone could use a nuclear bomb today and if
nuclear weapons could bring supremacy for a country,
Ahmadinejad said, "Did nuclear weapons save the Soviet Union
from collapse or did it lead to US victory in Iraq and the
Zionist Regime's win in Gaza?"

Weeks after Washington decided to double the number of
American combat brigades in Afghanistan, the Iranian
president says the US must learn to keep to its geographical
borders.
Speaking to Danish media on Wednesday, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
criticized the US military intervention in Iraq, Afghanistan
and other countries.
He called on Washington to apply major changes to its
policies, arguing that "the US like any other country has
certain geographical boundaries and should keep to its
borders."
Referring to the long-drawn-out war in Iraq and Afghanistan
President Ahmadinejad said, "Today, the situation in these
countries has worsened much more than seven years ago and
before the [US-led] invasion."
"The situation in these countries has not improved even with
NATO presence," he was quoted by IRNA as saying to Danish
television.
The Iranian president blasted NATO policies in Afghanistan,
saying they had only led to the loss of hundreds of civilian
lives and the escalation of terrorism and drug trafficking
in the country.
President Ahmadinejad described a lack of in-depth knowledge
about the region as the reason behind what he described as
the US and NATO's failure, saying, "If US politicians and
NATO had wide historical perspective on the region, they
would not have entered Afghanistan."
The Iranian president explained that humanitarian issues
should be resolved through channels other than military
ones.
He went on to criticize countries that believe the
possession of nuclear bombs grants them superiority over
other states, describing nukes as "the most inhumane of
weapons."

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
