August 26, 2006 — Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad today opened a heavy-water plant intended to fuel a nuclear research reactor that is currently under construction.
The ceremony took place at the Khondab plant near the city of Arak, some 200 kilometers southwest of Tehran.
Ahmadinejad said that his country’s controversial nuclear program poses no threat to any other country, even Israel, “which is a definite enemy.”
But he warned that the Iranian people would defend its rights to nuclear technology “with force.”
