Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei President said the US is the only nation to use nukes and turned Israel into “an arsenal with huge stockpiles of nuclear weapons.” Ahmadinejad called for the US and other nuclear-armed states to be banned from the IAEA. Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq backed Iran’s nuclear program. Iran’s Armed Forces Chief of Staff said the military is “prepared to destroy the US forces and equipments in the region.”
