Tehran, Iran, May 23 – Iran dismissed on Tuesday remarks by Saudi Arabian officials over its controversial nuclear activities as “unreal”.

Saudi officials had raised concerns that Tehran’s nuclear program might have a military dimension and that it could spark a regional arms race.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said in a statement that he was astonished by the Saudi position.

“Iran has never been after development of a nuclear bomb and has no need for it either”, Asefi said.

“We expect Saudi officials to not to be influenced by others’ false claims”, he added.

“It seems some have forgotten the nuclear arms of the Zionist regime and instead are trying to put pressure on Iran because it insists on its right to make peaceful use of nuclear energy”, he said.

Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said last week that Persian Gulf states would send an envoy to Iran shortly to try to persuade it to forgo nuclear weapons.

From what I have heard, they have a nuke being contructed now (in fact, five of them).

My friends in Pakistan told me that the problem Iran was having was not the contruction of a nuclear bomb, they have that technology, know-how and enough of the enriched uranimum needed for five bombs which are being contructed now.

They were having a problem with "miniaturization" - and that the bombs being developed now are to heavy according to my friends.

Hope to hear more soon.

Thanks for the input. It does not square with other intel on readiness or payload capability. But keep it coming.

This whole "Arab" business is also thought to be a coy zig zag to suggest that IRAN is not affiliated with the rest of the bastard, enabler nation-states underwriting the GWOT. The MSM crowd feeds on these "notions"...and that serves the propaganda needs of these mothers.

The scuttle is that they are working downstream issues for "after the conflict".

My batting average in the past on issues in the region has been quite good.

Considering who I've been talking to on this matter I think Im on the mark or damn close to it.

I'm of the opinion that our intelligence is off on this and off very bad.
