TEHRAN (Dispatches) – Iran said on Sunday the country, which is behind nuclear bombings of two cities in Japan, killing thousands of people, now claims to be advocating the eradication of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). "Maybe happen is never once,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi tweeted, quoting a line from American writer and poet William Faulkner. "However, atomic bombardment took place more than once. The bombardments of Hiroshima and Nagasaki still cascade in memories of the people of Japan and the world. The interesting point is that the culprit in both cases is a government, which instead of being accountable, claims to be a pioneer in eliminating weapons of mass destruction,” he said.
