Tehran, Iran, Mar. 06 – Iran’s radical President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared on Monday that the Islamic Republic would not bow to international pressure over its nuclear program and warned that Tehran may change its level of cooperation, state television reported.

Speaking hours before the latest session of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency got underway in Vienna, Ahmadinejad defended Tehran’s hard-line stance.

“Our nation has correctly chosen its path. We will not succumb to bullying”, Ahmadinejad said.

“Other countries must align their opinions with the desire and the will of Iranian nation. They must know that their blustering has no impact on our nation’s decision”, he added.

Ahmadinejad warned Western governments that if they put pressure on Iran, “we will rethink our [nuclear"> decisions and cooperation”.

“There is no point in these governments causing trouble for themselves and for us”, he said, without further elaboration.
