Bomb builders and those who preserve and use atomic bombs do not have right to take up stand against Iran's peaceful nuclear program, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday, addressing to a crowd of people in the western Iranian province of Lorestan, IRNA reported.

"'Today, the health and security of the European people are in danger," Ahmadinejad said adding that the hegemonic powers have hidden atomic bombs in certain states.

He said that the Iranian nation will stand against those powers' ambitions.

"History shows that the US government will sacrifice its friends to its own interests," Iran's president said while referring to Vietnam, Korea and some Middle East states as the evidences.

The president arrived in the provincial capital city of Khorramabad on Wednesday morning. Meeting with the families of martyrs and war veterans as well as the local managers and elites are on Ahmadinejad's agenda during his two-day stay in the province.

This is the President's 87th visit to province since he took office in 2005.

He made the initiative to visit provinces to get familiar with people's problems and to get closer to the ordinary people.

The United States and other Western countries accuse Iran of developing nuclear weapons under cover of peaceful nuclear energy program. Tehran denies the charges, saying its nuclear program is aimed at meeting the country's electricity needs.

The U.N. Security Council adopted six resolutions in connection with the suspension of Iran's nuclear program, with four of them involving the use of economic sanctions on the country.
