TEHRAN, March 8 (Xinhuanet) -- Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Hassan Rowhani has termed as "hollow" the US allegation that Iran was developing nuclear weapons, the official IRNA news agency reported Tuesday.

    "Iran is not after developing nuclear arms or mass killing weapons, and I recommend the US not to terrify the world with hollow allegations," Rowhani was quoted as saying on Monday evening.

    "Iran, as a principle not in need of any forms of nuclear bombs,was not a lover of adventurism and never intended to enter wars with any country," Rowhani said, adding that the Iranian nation would confront any threats and resist any attacks.

    However, the negotiator underlined that Iran needed new sciences, advanced technology and nuclear energy for its infrastructure and construction projects.

    The United States accused Tehran of developing nuclear weapons secretly and urged to refer Iran's nuclear case to the UN Security Council.

    Iran rejected the charge, terming it as politically motivated. Enditem
