For more than 60 years, the United Nations has struggled to forge peace, end poverty and heal the world.
Speaking in the southwestern provincial capital of Ahvaz, Ahmadinejad said the Security Council's resolution last month was invalid and had left the world body's reputation in tatters.
The council voted unanimously to bar all countries from selling materials and technology to Iran that could contribute to its nuclear and missile programs. It also froze the assets of 10 Iranian companies and 12 individuals related to those programs.
"Let the world know that from the Iranian nation's point of view, this resolution has no validity," Ahmadinejad said.
He said the United States was the main power behind the resolution, and warned Washington: "I want you to know that the Iranian nation has humiliated you many times, and it will humiliate you in future."
The U.S. has led the drive to stop Iran from enriching uranium — a process that produces the material for either nuclear reactors or bombs. Iran denies that it seeks to build atomic weapons, saying its nuclear program is limited to the generation of electricity.
Ahmadinejad said the sanctions were not important but were part of a campaign of psychological warfare against Iran that was designed to provoke dissent within the country.
Recalling the West's support for Iraq, then ruled by Saddam Hussein, during its eight-year war with Iran in the 1980s, he said: "If all the powers that supported Saddam in his war against Iran were to regroup and confront Iran again, Iranians would deliver a historic slap in their face."
Ahmadinejad said Iran had done everything it could to prove that its nuclear program is peaceful, but the West — in the name of opposing nuclear weapons — was trying to thwart Iran's development.
"We have tried all legal, wise and logical ways to convince these corrupt and selfish powers," he said.
While Ahmadinejad has repeatedly attacked the Security Council resolution, he has avoided any public comment on the results of Dec. 15 municipal elections, in which his political allies were heavily defeated.
The polls were seen as an electoral test of Ahmadinejad's presidency, and the success of his opponents suggested that voters want him to pay more attention to domestic issues rather than foreign policy.
Some people in the crowd in Ahvaz on Tuesday tried to remind the president of the need to address domestic problems. State television showed a placard carried by one spectator that read: "Inflation, unemployment, insecurity, drug addiction have desiccated the tree of the revolution."
Inflation is officially at 12 percent but thought to be much higher, and an estimated 3 million people are unemployed.

Did you graduate from Harvard? Possibly - with the low level of world affair knowledge to which America has sunk.
You wonder why Iran is pissed? Let*s see . .
Their democractically-elected and pro-democracy government was overthrown by a Presidentially ordered CIA-induced violent coup in 1953 because the British were pissed off that Iran had kicked British Petroleum oil out of Iran and convinced President Eisenhower that Iran*s leader was a communist sympathizer.
The US installed the Shaw of Iran - a puppet US leader to restore big oil and directly follow US interests. The installed Shaw of Iran proceeded to CRUSH any opposition with TORTURE and MURDER through the use of his secret police.
...and the typical American response to all this American injustice against another country is Nuke-em. No wonder Bush got re-elected.
Just like our silver spoon G.W. Bush "Humiliates" himself.
Both of these leaders are complete incompetent.
He should become a smokin' hole-in-the-ground as soon as possible.
Oh, I almost forgot, Buuuuuuusssssshhhhhhh.
Why Saddam has been removed from power?Because his FOREING MINSITER was a CHRISTIAN and had females in his administration.We were supposed to fight war against IRAN to confront ISLAMIC RADICALISM but PSYCHOTIC BUSH had attacked IRAQ (one of the most secular countries in the MIDDLE EAST)and turned it into a part of RADICAL ISLAMIC IRANIAN EMPIRE by our tax money and our SOLDIERS' LIVES.
CHRISTIANITY is PSYCHOSIS and CHRISTIAN BUSH is a PSYCHOTIC.Removing a SECULAR SADDAM from power who was the best protector of NON-MUSLIMS in the MIDDLE EAST and giving POWER,AMERICAN TAX PAYED MONEY,and WEAPONS to IRANIAN BASED ISLAMIC RADICALS like MALIKI,MUQTADA AL SADR is the continuation of CHRISTIANITY PSYCHOSIS according to which JESUS LOVING CHRISTIANS are GOD-NEGLECTED and JESUS-HATERS are GOD-CHOSEN.
Ahmanidijad is on his way out. He has traveled down the road of sabre rattling and his folks are tired and are seeking change. They too want a better life, lower inflation, more employment opportunities, better health care and more emphasis on domestic issues. Anyone see a correlation here?
Ahmedinijad needs nothing else killing all the NON-MUSLIMS in the MIDDLE EAST to help the 2nd coming of their FINAL TWELFTH IMAM MEHDI who according to their RADICAL BELIEF'll kill all the NON-MUSLIMS.The only barrier in achieving his goal and objectives was the former PRESIDENT of IRAQ named SADDAM HUSSIAN who was the worst enemy of ISLAMIC RADICALISM.SADDAM HUSSAIN had killed his own people because they wanted to establish an ISLAMIC EMPIRE from IRAN in the EAST to LEBANON in the WEST to plan attacks against the so called "THE GREATEST SATAN".These ISLAMIC RADICALS didn't have to spend a single penny for removing Saddam from power and he was removed from power by American Tax money and American soldiers' lives and on the name of DEMOCRACY an IRANIAN BACKED RELIGIOUS RADICAL is now given POWER,MONEY and WEAPONS by BUSH ADMINISTRATION to kill US troops deployed in IRAQ.At the time of SADDAM's murder,one of his killer was chanting the name of the MOST ANTI-AMERICAN,IRANIAN BACKED,ISLAMIC CLERIC named MUQTADA AL SADR.It's very clear now that who is benifited by the NON-SENSE,BACKWARD,OLD FASHIONED CHRISTIAN PROPHECY which was the reason of IRAQ INVASION.Did JESUS return back as the result of IRAQ invasion or Iran and her allies became powerful?
Carter and Reagan definitely did humiliate America however.
I blame Carter because he did not declare the action an act of war and take immediate and direct retaliatory action.
Reagan because he actually bought the hostages freedom by releasing $8 billion of frozen Iranian assets and granting total immunity form any punitive action.
Iran now claims to be pursuing uranium enrichment for domestic use only. If this is true perhaps they should be allowed to do so.
If the situation is serious enough for UN sanctions, then why not pass a UN resolution warning Iran of certain direct military action to disarm them if they test a nuclear bomb or long-range missile?
Failing that The United States should seriously warn Iran that due to they%u2019re past actions and especially relating to the war-like remarks of their president America would take immediate military action in the event of such tests.
America should never attack any nation with the purpose of long-term occupation. If an offensive action is serious enough for military action then respond strategically and sufficiently for both retaliatory and determent purposes.
I hope and wish everything would work out the way you are saying.I don't want to be in a fantasy world.By the way,what made you think that NORTH KOREAN NUKES are not upto the standard.I am sorry to say but when NORTH KOREA was claiming herself of building NUKES,Bush was denying her claim and calling her claim BLUFFING.Iraq didn't have WMDs and we wasted our money and soldiers' lives there to make ISLAMIC RADICALS form an ISLAMIC GOVT.We can't rtust anything said by our BUSH ADMINISTRATION.If North Korea sells her NUKES to OSAMA BEEN-FORGOTTEN,we'll be having no way to confirm it to attack NORTH KOREA in return.I disagree with you about OBL not having NUCLEAR CAPABILITY.In this MATERIALISTIC WORLD today,anybody having money can have anything he wants.If our four or five major cities get wiped off,we won't be able to fight back MILITARILY and FINANCIALLY period.Anyway,I wish things work out the way you are sying but don't wanna be complaisant.

Sad but true.
I consider myself fairly good at assessing a person%u2019s character by their Words-actions and from reading many of your posts I believe that you, like me, take no satisfaction or enjoyment from that fact.

The postings above are a defeatist attitude and the same thinking that Jimmy Carter brought to America.The USA has enormous capacity to act, if we had leaders like we did during World War-2 this issue would have been settled back when the Iranian`s stormed our embassy in 1979.We would have carpet bombed them back to the stone age and Ahmadinejad would never seen the light of day.
Take the time and read what I wrote "The USA has enormous capacity to act, (if we had leaders like we did during World War-2) this issue would have been settled back when the Iranian`s stormed our embassy in 1979.We would have carpet bombed them back to the stone age and Ahmadinejad would never seen the light of day.
I stated if we had leaders like we had in World War-2, not Bush.Defeating the Iraqi military was not a problem, we should have went with full force and smacked down any opponent that even hinted at trouble.We need to fight with total victory in mind and not care about public relations, if cared about "PR" against the Germans and Japanese we would have lost.
I don't really know whether OSAMA BEEN-FORGOTTEN really on run or he is well protected and able to conduct business.As long as he is not in our custody,we can't say anything for sure.OSAMA BEEN-FORGOTTEN and his Alqaeda organization are neither countries like China and Russia nor they care about their lives or well being.Islam came only about one thousand and fourteen or fifteen hundreds years ago but their tribal mindset is there for tens of thousands of years.Their generations after generations train their kids to give their lives for taking revange of their tribal enemies.Islam had change their mindset from tribal to religious but their fundamental basic mentality is still the same.Don't forget,they don't only have Arabs in their organization but WHITE AMERICANS like JOHN WALKER LINDH,ADAM GADAHN,etc.If for example Californian Adam Gadahn'd be found responsible for the next possible terrorist attack,can we bomb California to take revange.
This is a good analysis. Clear mind. Iranians are kicking his butt out. Meanwhile, likewise Bush he's trying to distract people away from the interior problems by re-flaming the old rhetorics.

- Iran can only humiliate the US by totally ignoring our demands, and continuing to develop nuclear weapons, as well as destroying our interest in the Middle East and especially in the gulf region. they are only capable of doing this, because they feel confidant in their ability to defend them selves from any military action we are able to take against them. This is thanks to Russia, who aims to destroy totally our legitimacy in the world, pay us back for Afghanistan, and place its weapons in front page for the world market. This is being done, while Mr. Putin is smiling and allowing our president to look in his eyes.
