LONDON, January 23 (IranMania) - If you get a letter from Iran in the coming weeks, you may be wondering why the stamps feature a nuclear facility and a darts board, said AFP.

The curious mintage is the result of a combined effort by Iran's darts association and postal service to 'underline the national will' to possess nuclear technology despite mounting Western pressure.

'We have an accord with the post office,' Marjan Jedi, a member of Iran's darts association, told AFP. 'And we wanted to emphasise the rights of Iran in the domain of nuclear technology.'

The stamps feature the statement 'Peaceful Nuclear Technology is the Absolute Right for Iran' in both English and Farsi. The stamps also feature images of the ancient Persian capital Persepolis."
