Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said his country suffered after invasions during World War II and he will "stand to the end" to get full compensation, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Ahmadinejad said he'd write to U.N. secretary General Ban Ki-moon to ask for compensation for damages caused to Iran during the war, and for use of its territory and resources by allied powers, the Post reported.
"You inflicted lots of damages to the Iranian nation, put your weight on the shoulders [of the Iranian people] and became victors in World War II. You didn't even share the war profits with Iran," Ahmadinejad said.
Britain and the Soviet Union invaded Iran on August 26, 1941, to secure oil fields and supply lines for the Soviets. The Post notes the Iranians suffered when food, fuel, and other essentials were given to the invading powers.
Ahmadinejad reportedly also warned that Iran may demand similar compensation for the first World War.

LOL! Is this satire? Ahmed can really run his mouth sometimes.
It’s really not that hard to kill him with all the mayhem in Iran now.
If only some CIA agent could push through all the PC bull**** and take the bearded retard out.
Maybe they should sue Greece for embarrassing them at Thermopylae.
This is all pretext, which is dangerous with someone who has deliverable nuclear weapons.
Actually, the Russkies occupied Northern Iran for some years after that.
There was a horrific famine during those years that no one knows about.
The profits of that war was to stop brutal totalitarians from conquering the world. But I guess I might understand why in his case he could miss this.
More likely to get compensated from the West if he characterized the damages as caused by “man-made Global Warming.”
Dear Mr. Imaneedastraitjacket...
As for WWII, Current Political Correctness does not allow us to treat Iran differently, but we can treat you equally. Now the choice is yours, we can amass 2 Million American troops on your border.. and then advance until we take over every square inch of your country, or we can drop Nuclear BOMBS over 2 of your largest Cities.
We look forward to working with you. Please let us know regarding your decision for treatment.
I don’t think anything NutJob does is satire (he’s a Muslim, so he doesn’t really have a sense of humor).
I’d watch this closely. Given the political dire straits of Iran, plus its nascent nuclear capability, this might be his equivalent of a “lebensraum” call; i.e., “just like Germany in the 1920s and 30s, modern Iran is a ‘have not’ nation . . . and it’s your fault! You caused it during WWII and Iran has suffered ever since!”
He’s thinking up casus belli rationales. We should watch this story closely.
Are you saying you don't know about this famine?
No problem, you little disease. We will deliver a package of precious metals.
Sign me up to donate right after I finish paying off the blacks for something that happened prior to my grandparents immigrating legally to the USA.
The wait is extensive.
ATTENTION LIBERALS:
This is what it looks like when your western guilt becomes policy. You are being mocked by those to whom you would condescend.
What, and bomb them back to the stone age???
Ahmadinejad keep dreaming!
Well, I guess NBC has found a replacement for Leno..
The greenhorn is aboard Air Force One on his way to apologize as we speak.
**What, and bomb them back to the stone age???**
Stone age?? I was more hoping for PRE-CAMBRIAN era, actually. Besides.. Stone age would be bringing them FORWARD.
