Iran (search) may be hiding its nuclear technology inside special tunnels because of threats of attack by the United States, Tehran's chief nuclear negotiator said in an interview published Friday.
Hassan Rowhani (search), who has been negotiating with Germany, Britain and France over Iran's uranium enrichment program (search), was asked by an interview for the Le Monde newspaper: "Is it accurate that Iran has built tunnels meant to serve Iran's nuclear activities?"
Rowhani responded that reports Iran was building tunnels to hide its nuclear technology "could be true," he said.
"From the moment the Americans threaten to attack our nuclear sites, what are we to do? We have to put them somewhere," Rowhani said.
President Bush who once called Iran part of an "axis of evil" with North Korea and prewar Iraq has insisted that Tehran must not develop nuclear weapons, but he said Tuesday in Brussels, Belgium, it is "simply ridiculous" to assume that the United States has plans to attack Iran over its alleged nuclear weapons program.
