Tehran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed on Wednesday his country would not surrender its nuclear ambitions and blasted an agreement between the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to take up the case.
"Those who possess stocks of nuclear arms meet together and take decisions and think that the Iranian people will submit to their decisions," the president said.
"I tell these countries who want to violate the rights of the Iranian people that the Iranian people will not be influenced by their propaganda," he said, vowing the Islamic republic would "continue on the road to victory".
The foreign ministers of the five permanent Security Council members agreed in London on Monday to haul Iran's case to New York after the country resumed sensitive nuclear fuel research work and deepened fears it could acquire the atom bomb.
A referral is likely to come during an emergency meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) 35-nation board of governors, which begins on Thursday.
"They believe they are dealing with a second-rate people with no culture. But we will build nuclear power stations everywhere in the country with a capacity of 20 000 megawatts," Ahmadinejad asserted.
"Our people will not bow to a few tyrannical countries who think they are the whole world," he added.
"The language of the Europeans and the West is from the Middle Ages. They live in a colonial dream. The action of the Westerners will have no influence on the decisions of the Iranian people," said the president, who was speaking during a visit to the southern city of Bushehr.
Bushehr is where, with Russian assistance, Iran is building its first nuclear power station. The Islamic regime insists it only wants to generate electricity.
But I thought it was all about safe, peaceful nuclear energy not nukes?
Very dangerous man... Action must follow and soon....
He's dissing the security council, that's huge news! Will they wishy washy out ala Iraq?
The word "blast" in this story is a nod of approval to internet search engines everywhere. :-)
No we don't. We believe we're dealing with a nation of intelligent, talented, well-meaning people whose government has been hijacked by a bunch of robed, turbaned fruitcakes.
I tell this moron that countries who wilfully violate the Non Proliferation Treaty they ratified and expect other signatories to be influenced by their propaganda should expect someone to obliterate their "road to victory."
Maybe the (ahem, nuclear) Security Council should blast back. Literally, not figuratively.
Sooner, not later
""Our people will not bow to a few tyrannical countries who think they are the whole world," he added."
Blahahaha! If China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America decided to collective force Iran to heed their wishes, it would happen.
The bombing should have started 5 minutes ago.
I wonder if Russia would change their mind if we were to start assisting Chechneya with some nuclear technology ?
The Soviet Russians are, as they always have, playing both sides against the middle. They want to be up at the top of the "New World Order" with China.
why not just go short on your investments?
Ever read Miller's "A Canticle for Leibowitz"?
Their country will submit or be destroyed and that will occur after the demise of their ignorant leader who will be taken out one way or another. This is like the 1930's all over again.
If you have nothing to hide, why are you hiding something?
If you believe we didn't go forward on our nuclear bunker busters, then maybe you should think of all the "black projects" we have going...
