Ahmadinejad Says Iran’s Nuclear Progress A Major Political Gain

IRNA, the official Iranian news agency, reports Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday that the recent achievements in Iran’s nuclear activities should be regarded as a major gain toward self-sufficiency, independence, national confidence, as well as political victory for the Iranian nation.

IRNA claims President Ahmadinejad made the remarks in a meeting with universities’ presidents and heads of research centers in Tehran on Saturday.

“The fact is that the enemies failed to deal with the political will of the Iranian nation… If we give helping hands in other areas and become mobilized, we can witness subsequent achievements,” he said, according to IRNA.

IRNA continued President Ahmadinejad declared “Iran’s victory and success in the field of nuclear technology proved that the country should be compared with big powers in this sphere and this indicates that the global equations have changed significantly, said the Iranian president” and “all political equations are linked to the decision of the Iranian nation and the way the country will deal with some big power… This is the era of prosperity, victory of justice over injustice and the domination of monotheism.”
