Iran's supreme leader the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed on Friday that the Islamic republic isn't pursuing nuclear weapons because of religious beliefs. Despite a report from a U.N. nuclear watchdog on Thursday claiming Iran may be trying to develop a nuclear warhead, Khamenei says that weapons of mass destruction are banned in Islam. According to International Atomic Energy Agency weapons inspector David Albright, Iran appears to be seeking concessions from the West on the tail of significant tensions over its nuclear program. Iran recently announced that it will advance uranium enrichment to 20 percent, leading Ahmadinejad to claim that it's "high time for some people to open their eyes and adapt themselves to real changes that are under way."
