Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday said non-popular regimes and occupying powers are alarmed by Iran's scientific development. Addressing a huge gathering of local residents in a northern province, Ahmadinejad said these regimes believe they can block the progress and development of the Islamic Republic of Iran by creating obstacles to its program to access nuclear technology.
