Iran’s nuclear disarmament conference.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, darling of the peace movement?

From AP:

Iran's supreme leader has told a nuclear disarmament conference in Tehran that the United States' nuclear weapons are a tool of terror and intimidation.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Saturday that America deceptively calls for non-proliferation while holding on to its own weapons.

According to Iranian media, the two-day conference brought together representatives from 60 countries as well as delegates from international bodies and non-governmental organizations.

It appeared timed as a counterweight to President Barack Obama's 47-nation summit in Washington last week to discuss nuclear security. …

Perhaps a little cynicism is due here, what with a country hell bent on attaining nuclear capability and having the stated intent of using it hosting a nuclear disarmament conference.

It is not immediately clear whether Obama or Kevin Rudd were present.
