While North Korea tests its missiles and Iraq burns, Iran reminds us all that they aren’t going to stop pursuing nuclear energy.
Iran’s hard-line leaders said Tuesday their country would not retreat from its controversial nuclear program despite international demands that it do so.
“Our policy is clear: progress, offering transparent logic and insisting on the rights of the nation without retreat,” supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, according to state-run television.
What else can I say? I would call this the republican nightmare. North Korea’s recent testing has most likely emboldened Iran, it says that there are few if any repercussions to going after the nukes themselves, and here they’re just claiming a desire for energy.
