Iran Steadfast in Nuclear Activities
Pyongyang, March 23 (KCNA) -- Iran has bolstered up defense capabilities and strengthened bilateral relations with neighboring nations, steadfastly defending its rights to nuclear activities for a peaceful purpose.

Some time ago, two military vessels of Iran navigated to Syria through the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean. The navigation was a drill and part of cooperation with Syria.

Iran made a home-manufactured self-propelled howitzer open to the public.

It also plans to manufacture latest-type fighters.

The sanctions imposed on Iran by the United States and other western nations have become ineffective with the Islamic country trying to back its nuclear program with strong defense capabilities.

Admittedly, the confrontation between Iran and the United States will continue over the nuclear issue.

The United States is seeking to isolate Iran internationally under the pretext of the nuclear issue but it is worried about many countries having different views in the way of solving the nuclear issue.
