US can't do a ‘damn thing’ to stop Iran’s nuclear progress, cleric says

A senior Iranian cleric said Friday that the United States is incapable of halting Iran’s nuclear advancements, adding that the country will continue its program without compromise.

“The nuclear industry is a foundational industry. Our youth have reached enrichment and nuclear power through their efforts. We will not trade this achievement for anything, and with God’s grace, we will continue this path,” the Friday prayer leader of Bushehr, Gholamreza Hashemi said.

“The US cannot do a damn thing to stop Iran’s nuclear progress,” he added.
