Iran's flinty President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed in a statement on
Saturday that his country would never suspend its nuclear program.
Ahmadinejad reiterated in the statement that Iran would never give up its
legitimate rights to nuclear technology.
The hardline president made the vow one day after the International Atomic
Energy Agency Chief Mohamed ElBaradei submitted a report on Iran's defiance to a
UN demand to halt its disputed uranium enrichment activities by Friday
deadline.
Earlier on Saturday, Iran's deputy nuclear chief Mohammad Saeedi told the
state television that Iran will continue its nuclear activities and now is
working on extraordinary nuclear equipment for its uranium-related program.
