Ahmadinejad: Iran Will 'Humiliate' U.S.

Iranian President Calls U.N. Sanctions Invalid

(AP)  President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad scorned U.N. Security Council sanctions imposed against Iran, telling a crowd Tuesday that Iran had humiliated the United States in the past and would do so again.

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.

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.

OSAMA BEEN FORGOTTEN,IRANIAN REGIME and his ASSISTANT "MALIKI",MUQTADA AL SADR,etc. and NORTH KOREA are the greates threat to our security.Without confronting them,Bush had attcked SECULAR SADDAM who was fighting our war against the ISLAMIC RADICALS.Bush admisnitration has taken I 95 North for going to florida from DC instead of taking I 95 South.

Houser123: '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?'

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.

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.

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.

[odanada-2009]

Oh yeah, right. Bush has done such a good job bombing Iraq back into the stone age - and for what - 3,000 dead Americans and the majority of the world hating you. Good plan.

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.

I wish all this would stop, all I`m saying is that if anyone thinks we (USA) will just lay down and accept this then they are crazy.We do have the ability to find out if any technology transfer takes place between North Korea and the terrorists, why do you think Russia and China never did such a thing ???They know the consequences would be total war. Plus Bin-Laden and his people are not going to be servicing and developing nuclear weapons in a cave and on the run.Everone underestimates the USA and get all cocky then they always pay a heavy price in the end.I just wonder if we will ever live in peace and mutual respect for each other and put our great knowledge to better use for the benifit of mankind, it just that people like Bin-laden ect always get in the way.

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.

"patriotic9" First things first.. if the North Koreans even think about sending nuclear technology to these maniacs then that would be the end of North Korea and the so called "Dear Leader"Secondly based on their "nuclear test" I do not believe they have the technology mastered and their "nuclear test" was a failed test at best.Third.. bil-laden and his terrorists do not have the technology either and even if they did they don`t have the infrastructure to maintain these weapons, you don`t just get a nuclear weapon and blow it up, it takes complete knowledge of the weapon and training to maintain calibrate and even if that all goes well it still may not fire correctly.Even after 50+ years this is still not a off the shelf technology.Muqtada Al Sadar is on our radar and we will take care of him along with Bin-laden and Ahmadinejad.The key here is WE HAVE THEY ABILITY TO WIPE THESE PEOPLE OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH TODAY... THEY DON`T !!! WE WILL NEVER ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE.When it comes down to us our them and it will... trust me it WILL be THEM !!! All has to be remembered is what we did to Germany and Japan in World War-2, and the German`s and Japanese were real authentic threats.We will grind our enemies into the sand.If they want a future for their children then the arab`s and other nations like North Korea will need join us all in the 21st century.This is not the 12th century anymore.

[clestes-2009]

No, he does not. All this is politically motivated. Iran is having a lot of domestic problems and the people are not happy. All this finger pointing and hot air are to take focus off his failing domestic problems and try to rouse support. He is in political trouble.

[cbgb31]

Why is he so d@mn obsessed with humiliating us? The guy needs a shrink.

[patriotic9]

It's a gone case now.USA can't do anything at all period.Doesn't anybody know that Iraqi Shias are more EXTREMIST THEN IRANIAN SHIAs as the holiest places of SHIA MUSLIMS "NAJAF" and "KARBALA" are in IRAQ.If we attack Iran,the SHIA BASED IRAQI GOVT will start war against our troops in a way we can't even think of.We can not stop our TAX PAYED MONEY to go to ISLAMIC RADICALS like MALIKI and MUQTADA AL SADR for the killing of our soldiers under the religious verdict of those AYATOLLAHs who call us THE GREATEST SATAN".We can not stop OSAMA BEEN-FORGOTTEN from buying NUKES from NORTH KOREA and wipe off our major cities in SIMULTANEOUS SUICIDE BOMBINGS(A hall mark of Alqaeda)by the NUKES sold to him by N.Korea whose threat of building NUKES were completely ignored by PSYCHOTIC BUSH.We can't stop SAUDI and other ARAB RADICALS to enjoy OIL PROFIT as a result of this ongoing war related increased OIL PRICES and to stop them investing their OIL PROFIT in ANTI-AMERICAN INSURGENCY.We can not stop our economy to be collapsed which already has a burden of $9 trillion debt.Bush you the man.You have done what nobody else could do.It seems like your GOD is really on your side like he was on 9/11/2001.US military could never be defeated by an enmey who doesn't have ARMY,NAVY,AIR FORCE or MARINE.You have made it happen.

[jlmcscanner]

Houser123, who will fire back at the USA ??? Iran??? They won`t even know what hit them and by the way they don`t have the ability to place a warhead on a missile or any other delivery method, they are a third world country that wants to play with the big boys.Oh.. and russia and china won`t be willing to sacrifice their lives and countries for Iran either.Maniac primitive cultures can`t be allowed to develop nuclear weapons technology because they live and think like it is 1000 yrs ago and "jhindson1" that is the reason we got involved in these primitive nations.We knew what these islamic fanatics are capable of, look at their history and the Pope was right about them wanting to convert the world by the sword... it`s in their history and writings.The Christian church has it`s own bad history as well, but we are not converting people to Christianity by the point of the sword or bullet if you will, that was our past but we evolved beyond that.The reason we got involed with these countries is that we knew these fanatics would threaten the world`s oil supply.When we develop other fuel sources then that region will sink into oblivion.

[clestes-2009]

I'm with you Houser123. He is on the way out. The real power in Iran is not the prez, but the chief Alloytahla. And I don't think he wants to nuke anyone. He has already disagreed Ahmadinejad on several issues and without his support, nothing will happen. A lot of hot air, but no real action.

[patriotic9]

All of us whose TAX MONEY is given to the IRANAIN BACKED ISLAMIC RADICALS "MALIKI" and "MUQTADA AL SADR"for the killing of US troops deployed in IRAQ are guilty of MURDER.

[jn122736]

Iran has never humiliated America and never could. Overrunning the US embassy on Nov 4, 1979 in and of itself did more to lower the integrity of Iran than to humiliate America.

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.

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?
