Says, "Anyone stockpiling nuclear weapons is mentally retarded"

|

During a meeting in Indonesia, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejiad said that the era of nuclear deterrence "is over," and nations that stockpile nuclear weapons are "mentally retarded."

He also reiterated his long-running stance that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons, nor does it seek to build one, as the nation does not need atomic weapons to defend itself.
