Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday the world should know the Iranian nation would insist on its nuclear rights with tied fists. The president was speaking to a crowd of local residents of Eqlid city on the second day of his five-day visit to the southern province of Fars.
According to IRNA, he said existence of corrupted powers is the problem of humanity, adding the powers believe in material and man-made values instead of divine values. "Arrogant powers insist on their own values. They overlook freedom of human beings, rights of nations and democracy to maintain their dominance," the Iranian leader noted.
"They do not let other nations scale peaks of science, welfare and progress. They are angry with progress made by the Iranian nation because they are interested in their own monopoly on science, technology and development and want war and cruelty for other peoples," the president said.
He stated that economic sanctions against Iran during the past 28 years brought nothing for arrogant powers while the Iranian youth conquered peaks of science and technology day by day.
Addressing big powers, Ahmadinejad said, "You should know that your actions against the Iranian nation will bear no fruit but will strengthen national will and decision.
"The united Iranian people will resist until they obtain all their rights. They will not withdraw even by one step."
