GENEVA, Switzerland, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi Tuesday called for a ban on nuclear weapons, saying his country views possession of them as "a great sin."
Salehi, attending the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, said the world can either engage or confront his country on its nuclear program, and that Iran, "confident of the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, has always insisted on the first alternative."
