Iran has the knowledge and scientific capability to produce nuclear weapons but will never do so |
The U.S. and its allies accuse Iran of using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to develop nuclear weapons. Iran denies the charges, saying its program is peaceful and geared toward generating electricity and producing radioisotopes to treat cancer patients.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also asserted that if Iran one day decides to build nuclear weapons, it will do so openly and won’t fear anybody.

Obama Messages Iran via Turkey
Local Editor
President Obama has signaled Iran that the United States would accept an Iranian civilian nuclear program if Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei can back up his recent public claim that his nation “will never pursue nuclear weapons,” The Washington Post reported Friday.
The verbal message was sent through Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who visited Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei last week. A few days before traveling to Iran, Erdogan had held a two-hour meeting with Obama in Seoul, in which they discussed what Erdogan would tell the Ayatollah Khamenei about the nuclear issue and Syria.
Obama's proposal, Ignatius said, stated that Sayyed Khamenei must confirm his statements made on February 22 through a tangible commitment, when he said that “the Iranian nation has never pursued and will never pursue nuclear weapons.”
“The challenge for negotiators is whether it’s possible to turn Khamenei’s public rhetoric into a serious and verifiable commitment not to build a bomb,” the daily added.
The Supreme Leader and various Iranian officials have repeatedly declared that Iran is not after the atomic bomb production.
During the recent months, the unsuccessful Zionist attempts towards the U.S. administration to attack Iran were circulated by media outlets.
The revealed facts of Washington Post came on the eve of negotiations resumption of the P5+1 on the nuclear file of Iran, scheduled for next week.
