TEHRAN, Iran, March 14 (NNN-TASNIM) – A senior Iranian security official, warned that “suspicious nuclear programmes” are being carried out by some countries in the Middle East region.
“Some countries in the region have put suspicious nuclear programmes on their agenda, spending their petrodollars (on such programmes),” Ali Shamkhani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, was quoted as saying.
“Such moves can cause not only the region, but also the world to face a threat and crisis worse than the threat of terrorists,” Shamkhani added.
