Little Green Mullahs Whine Back

And so it continues.

Iranian President Mohammad Khatami has said Tehran will never give up nuclear technology, as international pressure on his government continues to mount.

He warned of "massive" consequences if Iran was treated unfairly.

Mr Khatami said again that the nuclear programme was peaceful and needed to produce power, rejecting US suspicions that it is a cover for weapons.

EU powers want Tehran to end uranium enrichment - a key part of nuclear arms production - permanently.

"We give our guarantee that we will not produce nuclear weapons because we're against them and do not believe they are a source of power," Mr Khatami told foreign ambassadors in Tehran.

"But we will not give up peaceful nuclear technology," he added.

President Khatami was later seen accidentally winning a foot race due to the spontaneous combustion of his trousers.

"Massive" consequences, but they're developing only "peaceful nuclear technology"? Let's just hope that the French, Germans, and Brits aren't buying this. I can see the BBC producers and editors now...

"But... But... The Iranians said that they weren't developing nukes!"

G'night, wankers.
