Freudian Slip of the Tongue

Memri.org has a video clip of an interview of the Iranian Foreign Minister Monouchehr Mottaki on a local news station in Iran. He makes a little slip during the interview - commenting on Iran's nuclear weapons.

"Nuclear weapons for peace"

Ummm. In the hands of Iranian mullahs they aren't.

Hot Air and Flopping Aces have the details. Curt at Flopping Aces provides a transcription:

Transcript:

Mottaki - We emphasize the peaceful nature of our nuclear weapons…I mean of our nuclear power plant, and nuclear energy and activities.

We have no need for nuclear weapons as we’ve often said.

Nuclear weapons are not part of our defense doctrine.
