US forged nuclear trigger report: Iran

On December 14,The Times published what it said was the Farsi-language document,with an English translation,entitled Outlook for Special Neutron-Related Activities Over the Next Four Years.

The document described steps to develop and test parts for a neutron initiator,a device that floods the core of highly enriched uranium with subatomic particles to set off the chain reaction of a nuclear explosion.

Last week,Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast called the report baseless.

Iran,the worlds No. 5 oil exporter,says its uranium enrichment programme is aimed at generating electricity so that it can export more gas and oil. Because of its record of nuclear secrecy,the West believes Iran wants to make atomic bombs.

In a televised speech in southern Iran on Tuesday,Ahmadinejad said the nuclear arsenals of the US and Israel should be dismantled.They must know that the Iranian nation and all the worlds nations will continue resisting until the complete nuclear disarmament of America and all arrogant powers, he told a crowd at a stadium in the city of Shiraz.
