Asefi: US officials convey contradictory positions on Iran's nuclear activities

Kuwaiti News Agency:
[Iran's] Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi on Sunday rejected US accusations that his country was seeking the possession of nuclear weapons. Speaking to domestic and foreign reporters during his weekly press conference, Asefi said US officials have conveyed contradictory and ambiguous positions in their comments on Iran's nuclear activities. "Why is the United States not destroying its nuclear weapons if these are bad? Why does it not start a global campaign to destroy nuclear weapons? We have repeatedly said that Iran does not seek nuclear weapons." "The United States wants to propagate a public policy that has no clear end, " he said.
