Iran says nuclear bomb would be 'strategic mistake'
None
Iran's nuclear envoy said on Friday it would be a "strategic mistake" to build atom bombs, dismissing what a leading Western expert cited as evidence suggesting Tehran was seeking the means to do just that.
Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), also insisted during a public debate that sanctions and the Stuxnet computer virus had failed to slow the Islamic Republic's disputed nuclear programme. "Please be assured that none of the sanctions have affected our nuclear activities ... 100 percent sure," he said. (Reuters)
