AP Interview: Ahmadinejad says Future is Iran’s
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, “The future belongs to Iran,” and challenged the United States to accept that his country played a key role in the world.
The comments came at an hour-long interview Sunday with The Associated Press on the first day of his visit to the United States to attend the annual meeting of the General Assembly of the United Nations this week.
He insisted that his government does not want to build an atomic bomb – something he said in the past – and that Iran is seeking only peace and the world of nuclear weapons free. He sidestepped questions over and over again when Iran would resume talks on its controversial nuclear, and said sanctions against nuclear weapons against his government will not have any effect.
