On Friday, Ahmadinejad called Israel a "rotten, dried tree" that will be annihilated by "one storm." He previously angered many world leaders by calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map."
One storm? No, we want to pursue only peaceful nuclear technology.
So far, Iran has refused to give up uranium enrichment, which the United States and some of its allies suspect is meant to produce weapons. Tehran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad remained defiant Tuesday, warning that Iran will "cut the hand of any aggressor" that threatens it and insisting that Iran's military has to be equipped with the most modern technology.
Wonder what part the UN doesn’t get?
Ahmadinejad rebuffed a request last week by Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, that Iran suspend uranium enrichment, saying Tehran will not retreat "one iota."
To those opposed to that stance, he said, "Be angry at us and die of this anger."
Yet the UN gives Iran a role on the disarmament committee and Russia says sanctions shouldn’t be held against Iran.
I’m having a hard time believing Russia didn’t know about the enrichment programs status Iran has revealed.
