Iran 'number one world power': Ahmadinejad

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared on Thursday that Iran was the world's "number one" power, as he launched a bitter new assault on domestic critics he accused of siding with the enemy. "Everybody has understood that Iran is the number one power in the world," Ahmadinejad said in a speech to families who lost loved ones in the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.

"Today the name of Iran means a firm punch in the teeth of the powerful and it puts them in their place," he added in the address broadcast live on state television.

Ahmadinejad's comments come amid renewed Western efforts on the UN Security Council to agree a third package of sanctions against Tehran over its refusal to suspend sensitive nuclear activities.

They also came a day after former top nuclear negotiator Hassan Rowhani launched an unprecedented attack on Ahmadinejad's foreign policy, accusing him of using "coarse slogans and grandstanding".

"You can see how some people here... try to materialise the plans of the enemies and by showing that Iran is small and the enemy is big," added Ahmadinejad.

"These are the people who put the enemies of humanity in the place of God," said the deeply religious president.

He also told the families of the "martyrs" of the war that their loss was not in vain as the message of the Islamic revolution of 1979 that ousted the pro-US shah was spreading all over the world.

"Today the message of your revolution is being heard in South America, East Asia, in the heart of Europe and even in the United States itself," he said.

Ahmadinejad said he talked with people everywhere he travelled in the world and "it is like I am in district 17 in Tehran", referring to the low-income area in the south of the Iranian capital where he was giving his speech.

Ahmadinejad is due to travel to Iraq on Sunday in the first visit by a president of the Islamic republic to its western neighbour.

Maybe this should go in the “humor” topic area as well...

President Nutjob talking nonsense again.

I’d like to see our missiles vaporize the place and that little turd, “Iminthemoodforjihad”, along with it...

[rjp2005]

They certainly are not now, but continued inaction on the West’s part, and they will be #1 in that region and probably more.

Delusions of grandeur.

[SlapHappyPappy]

Given the fact that the rest of the world is allowing Iran to do whatever the hell it wants, is he wrong?

[beethovenfan]

What’s he smokin’ in that hooka?

[mortal19440]

That must be some great stuff he is smoking.

"Today the message of your revolution is being heard in South America, East Asia, in the heart of Europe and even in the United States itself," he said.

Hard to argue with that.

[sheik yerbouty]

He is Shi’ite. Everyone knows that is number two!

[OrioleFan]

He needs to take lessons from Barak Hussein Obama.

Delusions of grandeur with a hearty helping of megalomania.

This is one man who is pulling for Obama to become president of the US.

I can just imagine President Bush patting this short little nutjob on the head and saying, “Awww! Isn’t that cute?”

Good observation. Realize, though, that the only reason he's getting away with it is because he's being enabled by the Russkies and the Chinese to f**k with us. If we were not around, they'd squash him like a bug.

[alloysteel]

Talk about a flea with an erection....

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a most singular fellow, even among Muslims. His entire family has no conceit at all, he is the lone possessor of every bit of it.

[Bitsy]

Remember the satellite we just blew up, little Mr. Gargoyle?
That could be Iran!

[MEGoody]

This guy is such a loon. I’d laugh if he weren’t in a position to cause us considerable problems.

[Intimidator]

Guy is totally delusional

[reagan_fanatic]

LOL! And then he woke up with wet shorts.

[keepitreal]

And, to make sure the world knows it, Iran has issued all citizens a symbol of Iran's newly declared power:

[Enchante]

It’s really getting to the time when we MUST pound this little jackal into dust, before he gets the real power of nukes. Obliterate the IRG, all naval and air force facilities, as well nuke related facilities, as completely as possible in the first 24-48 hours, then keep hitting “targets of opportunity” until the jihad weasels beg for mercy and admit that they are worthless scum.

[Eye of Unk]

Iran is a country led by a fool that needs a padded room, this is like going to a state mental hospital and giving all the patients Uzis and grenades.

Well, what are you waiting for you pedophile-worshipping perv? Launch your attack. You've stated your objectives. Please follow-through. We'll be happy to oblige your request for annihilation...

Computer simulations by the European Union indicate that Tehran could have enough uranium for a bomb by year's end.
Meanwhile, Iran tests a missile that could reach the U.S.

[Grizzled Bear]

Ahmadinejad is a big steaming pile of “Number Two.”

[XR7]

Computer simulations by the European Union indicate that Tehran could have enough uranium for Islamists in Europe already have a bomb by year's end leftover from black market stocks from the USSR.

Iran 'number one world power': Ahmadinejad

Yes, they WERE, until 334 BC

[sargunner]

When the US, Brits, Israel and the Euros, all combined, are unwilling to challenge them, they very well may have a point.

[Kickass Conservative]

Well, that certainly takes the pressure off us.
It’s hard to stay on top.
Good luck with that Nutjob!
