"With the wisdom and resistance of
the nation, today our position has stabilized. I'm very hopeful that we will be
able to hold the big celebration of Iran's full nuclearization in the current
year," the hard-line president told reporters during a press conference.
Iran's current calendar year ends on March 20.
The hard-line president also claimed that international community was caving
it to Tehran's demand for a nuclear program. He did not elaborate.
The U.S. and some of its allies allege that Iran is developing nuclear
weapons. But Tehran claims its program is peaceful and for generating
electricity.
