(Xinhua) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan, that his country will not give up its right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful uses, according to reports reaching here. "We think that all peoples should develop nuclear technologies for peaceful purposes within (the framework of) the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency)," Ahmadinejad told reporters on the sidelines of his two-day visit to the neighboring Caspian country. He slammed the U.S.-led drive to constrain Iran's nuclear program, saying those forces "have achieved nothing." "They come against this under various pretexts and want to deprive our people of this right. They're using any means - economic, psychological and military pressure," Itar-Tass news agency quoted him as saying.
On Tuesday, Iran and the IAEA agreed on a working plan to clarify outstanding ambiguities over Tehran's nuclear program. Iran has blocked inspections from the IAEA to its nuclear sites since January this year after the UN Security Council imposed sanctions over the country's controversial nuclear program.
