“Former Iranian Diplomat and Brother of Top Iranian Nuclear Negotiator Mohammad Javad Larijani: Iran Is Willing To Share Nuclear Technology with Saudi Arabia and Gulf Countries April 14, 2007”

“Under the present circumstances, no Western country will be willing to share technology of uranium enrichment with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and others. Meanwhile, they have a big brother to the north, which, praise God, has technology at its disposal. In my opinion, this happens to be a strong point. We can establish an excellent consortium with the Gulf countries, and produce nuclear energy. We will share this technology with them.”
