Khamenei Vows to Protect Nuclear Program
(AP-Politico) In a statement read on state television, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei vowed Thursday to protect the Islamic Republic's nuclear and missile capabilities. He said the only place Americans belonged in the Persian Gulf is "at the bottom of its waters." Khamenei referred to America as the "Great Satan" and said, "Ninety million proud and honorable Iranians inside and outside the country regard all of Iran's identity-based, spiritual, human, scientific, industrial and technological capacities - from nanotechnology and biotechnology to nuclear and missile capabilities - as national."
