Iran begins designing first nuke submarine | Iran has started designing the country's first
nuclear submarine, according to a report. The state-media quoted the deputy navy chief in charge of technical affairs, Admiral Abbas Zamini, as saying that Iran
has begun 'initial stages' of designing the nuclear-powered craft. He stressed
that Iran has developed 'peaceful nuclear technology' and has both the capability
and the right to build a submarine, The Telegraph reports. The move could further
raise tensions between the Islamic country and West. Western countries are at
odds over Tehran 's nuclear programme, and the US suspects it is aimed at developing
weapons technology, a charge Iran denies. Iran has domestically built several
small submarines over the past years. It has recently overhauled one of the three
non-nuclear Russian Kilo-class submarines it bought in 1990s.
