U.S. President Barack Obama's recent statements while presenting a new U.S. nuclear doctrine were incorrect and poorly considered. By making such statements, he is playing with fire, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted as saying by IRNA.
Mottaki added that when he took office, Obama promised to change the situation in the world, but he may have just checkmated himself with his most recent statement.
Last week, Obama released a new US Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) restricting the use of nuclear arms against most non-atomic states, except for Iran and North Korea. The Iranian authorities see the statement as a threat of nuclear attack.
