Don’t they have insurgents that we can arm? I know there are many dissidents in Iran, are they looking for a peaceful way to overthrow the government? Do they have enough to take up arms? We can’t afford to wait since when they get their nukes they plan to use them:
Iranian top nuclear envoy Ali Larijani said in a meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao Friday that Iran is committed to peaceful use of
nuclear technology.
“We oppose obtaining nuclear weapons and we will peacefully use nuclear technology under the framework of the Nonproliferation Treaty,” he said. “But,” he warned, “if we are threatened, the situation may change.”
Larijani also said Iran’s situation is “totally different” from that of North Korea, which conducted its first atomic test Oct. 9. International talks aimed at Pyongyang’s nuclear disarmament have failed.
“North Korea already has nuclear weapons, we are not after nuclear weapons,” Larijani said. “It is not part of our doctrine, political or national doctrine, to go after nuclear weapons.
