However, it will only harm the Islamic world. It is not irrational to contemplate such an eventuality. Of course, you can see that the Americans have kept their eyes peeled and they are carefully looking for even the slightest hint that technological advances are being made by an independent Islamic country. If an independent Islamic country is thinking about acquiring other kinds of weaponry, then they will do their utmost to prevent it from acquiring them. Well, that is something that almost the entire world is discussing right now”.
Bingo, I think it is quite difficult and pointless to argue a point with Lanny M as he discounts/dicredits most "western media" quotes, and now we are told that the Iranian PM does not really mean what he says, as it is 'lost in translation', and WE are at fault for taking him too literally.
