(IRNA) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here Thursday said the Islamic Republic of Iran will soon join the club of nuclear powers and be recognized as such by the world.

Addressing a huge crowd in this western capital city, he said world powers should know that the Iranian nation is determined to pursue the path of prosperity and will soon reach the peak of progress and development, reports Trend.
