Iran Says God Protects Nuclear Program

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Sunday that God would punish Iranians if they do not support the country's disputed nuclear program, state radio reported.

``The Iranian people openly announce that they will defend their rights... God will reprimand them if they do not do so,'' state radio quoted Khamenei as saying.

The 68-year-old ayatollah, who has final say on all state matters, said Washington's claim that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon is false. The Iranian government has long insisted its nuclear activities are only for peaceful generation of fuel.

``They know that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon, and they are just trying to block the Iranian nation from achieving advanced technology,'' Khamenei was quoted as saying in Tehran.
