LONDON — President Barack Obama reiterated that Iran may have some right to nuclear energy _ provided it takes steps to prove its aspirations are peaceful.
In a BBC interview broadcast Tuesday, Obama also restated plans to pursue direct diplomacy with Tehran to encourage it to set aside any ambitions for nuclear weapons it might harbor.
Iran has insisted its nuclear program is aimed at generating electricity. But the U.S. and other Western governments accuse Tehran of seeking atomic weapons.
“Without going into specifics, what I do believe is that Iran has legitimate energy concerns, legitimate aspirations. On the other hand, the international community has a very real interest in preventing a nuclear arms race in the region,” Obama said.
I would like to ask the President, what about the right of United States citizens to enjoy nuclear power? What about our energy concerns, our aspirations? Let’s go Big O, let’s build us some nuclear power plants.

Too bad you don’t have White House press credentials. You don’t give a drunk the keys to your car. And you don’t give someone who says repeatedly he wants to annihilate Israel the benefit of the doubt when it comes to nuclear power.
