Mr Ahmadinejad told academics in a speech that elements
inside Iran were pressing for compromise in the nuclear
standoff with the West over fears the US could launch a
military strike.
"In some discussions I told them 'I am an engineer and I am
examining the issue. They do not dare wage war against us
and I base this on a double proof'," he said in the speech
yesterday, reported by the reformist Etemad Melli and
Kargozaran newspapers.
"I tell them: 'I am an engineer and I am a
master in calculation and tabulation.
"I draw up tables. For hours, I write out different hypotheses.
I reject, I reason. I reason with planning and I make a conclusion.
They cannot make problems for Iran."'
