Iran attacks US nuclear accusations
Updated on 20 September 2009
Iran's supreme leader has said that US officials know they are wrongly accusing Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons.
In Iran's first official reaction to the US decision to scrap a European missile intercept system to defend against threats from Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed President Barack Obama's administration is following the same policies as its predecessor.
"The US officials who talk about Iranian missiles and their danger while saying Iran intends to build a nuclear bomb, they know these words are wrong," Khamenei said in remarks broadcast on state-run radio.
