Iran is a nuclear power:
Iran is a nuclear power and it will not tolerate threats from world powers when they discuss Tehran's package of proposals on October 1, a top aide to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told AFP in an interview.
'We firmly are of the view that Iran has every right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and in a manner that is consistent with its international obligations and commitments,' External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said in an exclusive interview with Iran's official news agency IRNA ahead of his departure to Tehran Friday.
