Tehran, Iran, Feb. 05 Irans hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sounded a defiant tone on Sunday, a day after his countrys controversial nuclear program was reported to the United Nations Security Council, vowing that the Islamic Republic would stand in the face of its enemies to obtain nuclear capabilities.
The 35 states on the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency voted overwhelmingly for a resolution on Saturday to report Iran to the Security Council.
The era in which the large powers would make the decisions for our nation from their glass castle is over, Ahmadinejad said in Tehran, the state-run news agency ISNA reported.
With its [1979 Islamic”> revolution our nation brushed aside the humiliators and no longer allowed the Arrogance (United States) and imperialism to make the decisions for them. This is the greatest capital and the biggest strike at the [U.S.”>, he said.
Ahmadinejad criticised the West for putting pressure on Iran over its nuclear program.
The enemies of the revolution have tried many times over the past 27 years so ensure that the Iranian nation was unable to realise the true goals of the revolution. But today, when they realised that they could not reach their goals, they started to put pressure. They cannot believe that our nation is able to obtain the highest level of science and education.
Our enemies cannot do a damn thing. We do not need them at all. It is them who need the Iranian nation, Ahmadinejad said, adding that the IAEA board resolution would not have any effect on his policies.
Addressing the IAEA, he said, You can issue as many resolutions as you like and dream on. But you cannot prevent the Iranian nations progress.
