Ahmadinejad's comments upon arrival in Tehran

Iran Press News: Translation by Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzzi

Revolutionary Guard-cum-planted president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad held a press conference at Tehran's Mehrabad Airport upon his return to Tehran last night. Emphasizing on the regime's nuclear activities, Ahmadinejad said: "We are entitled to having nuclear-fuel centrifuges and no one is permitted to stop us from obtaining them."

Ahmadinejad who blamed the international community for widespread pressure against his presence in New York, confessed: "These people really tried all kinds of tricks to mount a psychological war against us and to scare us; they fabricated all kinds of stories in order to force us into abandoning our travel plans [to New York]. They even threatened us, saying that if we come, they will 'tinker' with your plane." READ MORE

Ahmadinejad who was interviewed today on the regime-run television in Iran, spoke out on the issue of the referral of the regime's dossier to the Security Council, saying: "We are not afraid of the Security Council and our stance will never change; the Westerners can do whatever they want but we will move forward with our plans."

Editor's note: It is important to state that the conjecture about the Ahmadinejad's plane being sabotaged was nothing more than an hypothetical article written a few days prior to Ahmadinejad's departure to New York, in one of the regime-backed newspapers inside Iran. Following the denial of Hadad Adel, the Director of the Parliament of the Islamic Republic of Iran's visa to travel with Ahmadinejad to the United States, the regime's media began spreading vicious rumors, concocting outlandish scenarios from within, about what could possibly happen to Ahmadinejad, his entourage and his plane upon arrival in New York. There was never a single threat made by either the U.S. or any of the U.N.'s member nations.
