Iran Says Feb. 11 Big Day
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will reveal "giant achievements" on Feb. 11, the Iranian Fars news agency reported over the weekend.
According to Ynetnews.com, Fars said Ahmadinejad would make a key announcement on Iran's nuclear rights on that day.
"The Iranian president also reiterated that February 11 is the day when the Iranian nation's inalienable right to access and use nuclear technology will be established," Fars said.
"The Iranian nation will celebrate stabilization and establishment of its nuclear rights during the Ten-Day Dawn, (sic)" Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. The "ten-day dawn" in early February marks the date of the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979.
"When a nation decides to stand on its own feet to climb up the peaks, God helps it and that nation will embrace victory," Ahmadinejad said.
According to Ynetnews, Iran also boasted that its scientists have discovered an AIDS cure.
"After seven long years of arduous work, Iranian scientists here on Saturday introduced a herbal medicine which cures Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)," Fars reported.
"The drug named 'IMOD' is completely effective and safe with no proven side effects," Iran's Minister of Health Kamran Bagheri Lankarani claimed during a ceremony.
According to Reuters, Iran said Sunday that it will not suspend work on its uranium enrichment program. A U.N. sanctions resolution has demanded that Iran halt all work.
