Pssst Obama it's Russia not Iran!

Russia to develop new nuclear missiles and launchers

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says his country will develop new generation of nuclear missiles to protect its "national interests."

In an interview with state-controlled television channels, Medvedev said that the missiles will increase efficiency of Russia's nuclear deterrent.

Medvedev's comment came after Moscow said it has successfully tested a ballistic missile that struck its target across the country in the Russian Far East.

The country's latest missile test -- that involved a Bulava missile -- had earlier failed over the White Sea.

Officials say the Bulava missile is central to Russia's plan to revamp its ageing weapons arsenal.

The development comes as on December 19, the US and Russia failed to reach a new agreement to cut their nuclear arms despite the termination of an earlier Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) signed in 1991.

In a meeting on the sidelines of the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen, US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart failed to reach an agreement on the terms of a deal to replace START.

The Kremlin chief however went on to add that Moscow is determined to develop missiles. "Of course, we will develop new systems, including delivery systems, that is, missiles."

The new missiles would be developed based on arms deals signed between Moscow and Washington, he concluded.

US nukes biggest threat to global security Iran's top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili says the US should be relieved of its veto power and disarmed over the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. "The least penalty for the United States is its disarmament and disqualifying its veto power," said Jalili during his visit to Hiroshima. "Unfortunately not only was not the US condemned for Hiroshima massacre but it was also awarded with veto power in the (UN) Security Council," he said. During the final stages of World War II in 1945, the United States conducted two atomic bombings against Japan. The bombs killed as many as 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki by the end of 1945, with roughly half of those deaths occurring on the days of the bombings. Jalili went on to add that the Hiroshima tragedy showed that certain major powers such as the US have no remorse to kill innocent people in line with their interests. Non-commitment of the US and other major powers to eliminate their nuclear weapons is "the biggest threat to global security," said Jalili, who is also the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. He called on the international community to put pressure on Washington to eradicate its atomic arsenals. Regarding the US military strategy after World War II, Jalili took a swipe at Washington for equipping Iraq's Saddam Hussein regime with chemical weapons, and supplying the Zionist regime with nuclear weapons. He also questioned US military presence in Afghanistan and its policy to develop new generation of nuclear weapons. Jalili noted that Iran plans to hold a conference in Tehran on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament. http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=114564&sectionid=351020602
