“A UN seat must be given to Islamic world”
05:08:59 È.Ù
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The IR Leader highlighted the recent achievements of the Islamic countries in scientific and technological fields, notably the Islamic Republic of Iran’s access to peaceful nuclear energy, adding “Although the enemies of the Islamic world know that the IRI’s nuclear activities are peaceful by nature, they oppose it because the Iranian nation’s achievement is notable and progressive.”
Ayatollah Khamenei said a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council should be given to Islamic countries.
“The Islamic world despite having many facilities suffers lack of sufficient power to defend itself. To resolve the issue it should take practical steps to put aside phony hurdles and leave behind geographical, ethnic and religious differences.”
Pointing to the enemies’ plots to sow discord among Muslims especially by inciting Shii-Sunni difference, Ayatollah Khamenei said, “Unfortunately some politicians, intellectuals and Alims in the world of Islam have fallen into this trap. They should know that the only solution to make a powerful Islamic world is practical and willing unity and cooperation among the Islamic countries.””
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Meanwhile, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was also present in the meeting.”

“What drives Ahmadinejad?
Iranian president wants to set stage for appearance of Shiite messiah”
Jonathan Halevi and Ashley Perry
Published: 06.17.08, 00:43 / Israel Opinion
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Shiite Iran is striving to attain the position of regional superpower en route to becoming a significant nuclear power on the international stage. Iran openly challenges the West in its attempt to eject the Americans and British from Iraq and attain hegemony in the Persian Gulf region, supported among other, by its military program, massively built up in recent years. The Iranian leadership talks of a “New Middle East” in response to the West, which would be an Islamic Middle East in the mold of the Iranian inspired Islamic revolution.
Iran’s political aspirations are driven by a deep religious zeal. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad repeatedly pledges “the imminent and evident liquidation of Israel,” as a code word for the messianic fervor he shares with his spiritual mentor, Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Mesbah Yazdi, one of the more radical ayatollahs, who subscribes to diplomatic and military activism to advance the global Islamic revolution spearheaded by Iran.”
