Iran's foreign minister announced that Iran would ""use nuclear defense as a potential" if "threatened by any power." Which pretty well clears up any doubt about Iran's intentions with their nuclear program. Any apologists can now stop trying to cover for them.
Speaking following a meeting with his Syrian counterpart Hassan Ali Turkmani in Teheran on Thursday, Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar emphasized that Iran "should be ready for confronting all kinds of threats."
Teheran has denied accusations by the US and its allies that Iran was seeking uranium enrichment technologies in order to develop nuclear weapons, saying its program was only meant to generate electricity.
Meanwhile, Turkmani told reporters that Syria and Iran's "policy is the policy of strengthening resistance and tackling the threats of United States and Israel."
He added that he wouldn't give details of joint defense plans against Israel, although the plans were "not secret."
Although I am sure there are some people busily trying to prove that the foreign minister was mis-translated and actually said something along the lines of, "Iran will use glow in the dark bonbons", I think the rest of us can pretty well trust what this means.
