Iran declares itself a Nuclear state
The Iranian President used the occasion of 31st anniversary celebrations, to declare the country as a nuclear state. He said that Iran can now produce nuclear weapon grade uranium and also can produce bombs. The statement was anyway expected by the Western world, who are now hell bent upon getting more sanctions against Iran.
Iran might well be left out of the global economic recovery once again, if it continues to be adamant. It is indeed shocking to see most of the Iranians living at less than 50% of their friends and relatives in other Middle East countries. Iran is the second largest natural gas source for the world, but it does import 40% of the petrol and diesel even today.
