Larijani Suggests West Put Up With Iran’s Nuclear Program

Tehran, Iran (RIA Novosti) Oct 18, 2007 - Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani proposed on Wednesday that the West come to terms with the Islamic Republic's possession of nuclear technology. Praising Iran's persistence in mastering its nuclear program, Larijani said the West had only two options - either to restrain itself or to recognize Iran and its knowledge in the nuclear sphere and begin cooperation. The Iranian official said Tehran's possession of research data on the peaceful use of nuclear energy had enhanced Iran's strategic authority.
