Iran VP: Zionist nukes threaten world

"Nuclear weapons in the hands of the Zionist regime pose a threat to international peace and security, "Iranian nuclear energy chief Fereydoun Abbasi Davani, who also serves as Iran's vice president, told the annual member state gathering of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna.

He denied allegations that Iran was pursuing a nuclear bomb. "To liberate Palestine from the conquering Zionists there is not need for nuclear weapons. The solution is democracy and the holding of a referendum among the original inhabitants of Palestine," Davani said. (Dudi Cohen)
