Doomday fear mongers point to Iran's new Surena-2 humanoid robot as further proof of weapons manufacturing

I am thoroughly disgusted by doomsday fear mongers in the west that point to Iran's newly minted humanoid robot as further proof of Iran developing technology for nuclear weapons manufacturing, In fact, the University of Tehran has had an artificial intelligence and robotics program since 1993.

"Current research directions include cognitive robotics, multiagent learning, biologically inspired learning methods, distributed robotics, object manipulation, and mobile robots. - University of Tehran Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory website  

Any positive advances in technology development should be celebrated regardless of where such advances were developed.
