Tehran, September 26 (KCNA) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an interview on Sept. 24 accused the West of politicizing the nuclear issue of his country.

Iran's nuclear plan has become a political issue due to some Western countries and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has failed to properly approach the issue from legal viewpoint under the pressure of the West, he pointed out, contending once again that his country's nuclear plan is of peaceful purposes.
