Iran claims designing nuclear submarine

Iran has taken “initial steps” to design its first nuclear-powered submarine, a deputy navy commander claimed in an interview with the Fars news agency published on Tuesday.

“Initial steps to design and build nuclear submarine propulsion systems have begun,” Admiral Abbas Zamini, the technical deputy navy chief, told the agency.

“All countries have the right to use peaceful nuclear technology, including for the propulsion system of its vessels,” he said.

Iran’s navy “needs the (nuclear-powered) propulsion system to succeed in realising very long-distance operations.”

He did not provide further details.

Heh. I wonder if will look like this masterpiece?
