Kayhan: Attack On Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Won’t Stop Nuclear Program – And Could Change It
The Iranian daily Kayhan, which is close to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, stated that an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities won’t eliminate Iran’s nuclear program because the program can easily be reconstructed within a short time.
The paper added that perhaps the reconstructed program will not be like the current program, which was declared to be civilian by IAEA director Mohamed ElBaradei.
