Good world citizen that it is, Iran has announced that it is ready to proliferate “peaceful nuclear technology.” The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) has the scoop:
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here Wednesday voiced Iran's readiness to transfer peaceful nuclear technology to Islamic states.
The president made the remark in a meeting with Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of the UN world summit.
Referring to the decrease of fossil fuel reserves and the country's need to use at least 20,000 MW of electricity, he said, "The Islamic Republic never seeks weapons of mass destruction and with respect to the needs of Islamic countries, we are ready to transfer nuclear know-how to these countries."
My analysis: France and Italy are the clear losers here, as they are not yet Islamic states.
