NCRI – Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said yesterday Iran should abandon its nuclear program in the interests of Middle East peace.
"I don’t subscribe to any idea that Iran should have nuclear power,” Siniora said in an interview yesterday in his office.
Siniora said he had raised Lebanon’s opposition to Iranian nuclear power in "frank and very good discussions” with Iranian regime’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki. While Beirut seeks good relations with Tehran, it could "not approve of any intervention made by Iran into our affairs,” he added.
Iranian regime continues its nuclear program says it wants to enrich uranium to low levels so it can fuel a nuclear power plant. The U.S. and European governments fear Tehran is planning to develop atomic weapons.
Foreign ministers from the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council — the U.S., China, Russia, the U.K. and France — plus Germany offered a package of trade and technology incentives in return for restrictions on the regime’s nuclear research program.
