Teheran insists on nuclear right

TEHERAN: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday his country would not give up its right to nuclear technology despite the mounting pressure for a quick response to the six-nation proposal, the state-run television reported.

Mr. Ahmadinejad warned that his country would ``revise'' the cooperation with the international authorities after the decision of the six world powers to send its nuclear issue back to the U.N. Security Council, the report said. ``We have chosen a track of peace and the track is in the framework of the regulations,'' he said, adding the West ``must understand if Iran believes they are not in earnest [to resolve the problem], they will revise the current policies. Iran will continue its legal track and if they [Western countries] want to create tensions, they must be responsible for the possible consequences,'' he was quoted. — Xinhua
