TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that no power can take nuclear fuel cycle technology away from Iran and vowed that his country will resist pressure from the U.N. Security Council over its nuclear program.
“Rest assured that the technology to produce nuclear fuel today is in the hands of the youth of this land and no power can take it back from us,” Ahmadinejad told thousands of people in northern Iran.
Ahmadinejad made his comments ahead of discussions later Tuesday on Iran’s nuclear program by the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, which has the power to slap sanctions on Iran if it doesn’t back down in its confrontation witth the West over its nuclear ambitions.
