Iranian President Ahmadinejad Won't Rule Out Nuclear Weapons

In a recent interview with NBC's Ann CurryAnn Curry, Iranian President Mahmoud AhmadinejadIranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was bombarded with looming, difficult questions on controversial issues pertaining to his country. President Ahmadinejad answered questions on Iran's current nuclear weapons pursuit as well as the recent election controversy and post-election riots.

In the interview Mr. Ahmadinejad would not rule out Iran's development of nuclear weapons, but did say that they would never stop Tehran's work on a "peaceful" nuclear program. According to reliable sources around the world, Iran is extremely capable and able to produce nuclear/atomic weapons. The initial idea of Iran possessing nuclear weapons is a scary thought for Americans, but more so for Iran's neighbors, Israel. Any fear circulating around from these announcements was quickly put to bed by President Ahmadinejad when he reiterated that nuclear weapons were and are not part of the countries plans moving into the future because they "simply don't need such weapons". Mr. Ahmadinejad whether people believe it or not said Iran works towards resolving issues with negotiation, rather than violence.

After moving past the nuclear weapons dilemma surrounding Iran, Mr. Ahmadinejad addressed his controversial election victory as well as the post-election riots. Mr. Ahmadinejad was very adamant in his reassurance that he personally believed all of the Iranian's who protested the results of his election victory were completely welcome to voice their opinions, but in accordance to the Iranian laws. The President also believes that the riots were all part of the United States and British plans to get Mir Hossein Mousavi into office. Skeptics of Ahmadinejad believe that Mr. Mousavi actually won the election, but Mr. Ahmadinejad's connections within the Iranian hierarchy are what ultimately skewed the democratic process.

In some of his concluding statements President Ahmadinejad called the supposed actions of President Obama and British Prime Minister Gordon BrownGordon Brown to overthrow Mr. Ahmadinejad in office simply heinous and pathetic. He made it very clear that he believes the United States and Britain should stick within their own borders and stay out of business and governmental issues in Iran.
