Whoever controls the controls the world’s “energy and wealth,” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted by IRNA as saying Saturday.

Ahmadinejad told an audience in Teheran, “Many countries have, unsuccessfully, tried during the past years to become a superpower in the region but they failed as they play no role at the international equations.”

Pretty self-important statement there, dont'cha think?

It's an Israeli newspaper, so everybody there naturally assumes that ME stands for Middle East. Just like in Europe hardly anyone takes the time to say "European Union", it's just EU.
