"During a speech delivered in the Western Iranian province of Javanroud, Ahmadinejad said: " The Islamic Republic of Iran is now a nuclear power, thanks to the hard work of the Iranian people and authorities."
The announcement of Iran as a "nuclear power" is bound to significantly escalate tensions between the West and Iran, and marks a dramatic stage in the Islamic Republic's nuclear campaign.
Ahmadinejad was also reported to have announced that "Iranian young scientists reached the zenith of science and technology and gained access to the nuclear fuel cycle without the help of big powers."
As stated above, this is only going to escalate tension around with world and the dealings with Iran. I hope there is some sort of agreetment in the future, but that is not likely by the way Ahmadinejad has been acting over the last month. Sadly, I see some sort of military outing in the future....
