Khamanei declares Iran not seeking nukes
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared Wednesday the Islamic republic was determined to generate nuclear power and would not develop nuclear weapons, the day after Iran bowed to international demands it open up its nuclear programme to tougher UN inspections.
"We have always said we have no need of nuclear weapons because the possession of such arms does not signify power. We believe the possession of strong human potential to master modern science, faith and the will to resist is what brings power," the all-powerful leader was quoted as saying by state television.
