DAR AL ISLAM - IRAN: WE OFFER NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY TO COUNTRIES OF REGION

Iran ready to transfer nuclear technology to regional countries, FM says

TEHRAN, Iran: Iran on Monday said it was ready to transfer peaceful nuclear know-how to regional countries amid international pressure that it roll back its own controversial nuclear program.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran has announced its readiness for transferring its nuclear experiences to the neighboring countries under supervision" of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, said Manouchehr Mottaki, Iran's foreign Minister.

Speaking here at a conference on security in the Persian Gulf, Mottaki said a demand for peaceful nuclear technology by the oil-rich Arab Gulf countries would help dispel U.S. allegations that Iran is secretly aiming to develop nuclear weapons. Iran denies the claims, saying its program is for generating electricity.

"We are hopeful that leaders of the neighboring countries pay the necessary attention to Iran's right to exploitation of nuclear energy," Mottaki said.
