Iran's supreme leader says his country is not seeking nuclear weapons, but if it wanted to, no country could stop it from doing so.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say in all state matters in Iran, said Saturday that Iran supports the elimination of nuclear weapons.

My Comment: I always liked former President Reagan's view towards nuclear weapons .... "trust but verify". I will trust the Iranians when they permit UN inspectors in .... but until that day (if it ever comes) .... when it comes to Iran's nuclear program I will not trust what the Supreme Leader is saying.
On a side note .... this is why I have problems with trusting this Iranian leader.
