Stop opposing our Nuclear programme: Ahmadinejad tells US
Tehran: Iran has begun loading domestically-made nuclear fuel rods into its Tehran research reactor, a defiant move in response to toughening Western sanctions.President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who inserted the first Iranian-made nuclear fuel rod into the reactor in north Tehran, today addressed the media on the nation's nuclear achievements.

Here are the highlights of his address:

  • Our purposes are peaceful; it is all propaganda against us.
  • Stop opposing our programme; nobody can monopolise nuclear science
  • They tried to stop us. Our scientists went through difficult times and produced what they did today.
  • There is US pressure on every nuclear power. They do not want other nations to progress.
  • They embarked on assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists; they do not want knowledge to spread. What sins had our scientists committed?
  • They will be no room for plundering by great powers if everyone has the knowledge.
  • Any nation that wants to progress, wants freedom , they need to stand against this and crush all restrictions imposed by these arrogant powers.
  • US has 10,000 bombs and they say they are against bombs; history will laugh at them.
  • They say all options are on the table; let it be on the table till it rots.
  • This is not the time for bullying; the world has changed.
  • These are major achievements. 
  • This reactor is a research reactor that produces medicine.
  • 2 years ago they said they will not give us fuel; we told them they were making a mistake, Iran will make the fuel.
  • I would like to extend congratulations to the Iranian nations
  • This belongs to all humanity; we are willing to export these designs to IAEA states.
  • This need to be pursued with power; do not be intimidated by propaganda
