Defiant Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad jeers, ‘Any finger which is about to pull the trigger will be cut off.’ He asserts that it is ‘pointless for the international community to impose sanctions against Iran.’ The bombastic leader scoffs off the ‘global consensus against the nation’s nuclear program, and said threats of isolating the country were “ridiculous”.’ He contends that his country is completely ‘capable to make it own fuel if shipments were cut off.’
“They need us more than we need them. It is psychological warfare and isolating Iran is impossible,” Ahmadinejad boasts, confident that UN sanctions leveled against Iran will not work in the general scheme of things.
He further defends Iran’s nuclear capability in the light of the country’s solid plans afoot to build additional 10 uranium enrichments sites, saying that ‘Iran could produce its own petrol within a week if fuel imports were cut off.’ According to him, ‘Iran was not obliged to inform UN nuclear watchdog the IAEA of plans to build more nuclear sites.’
The UN sanctions currently leveled against Iran are aimed to ‘prevent the flow of any items or technology which might aid Iran in enriching uranium or developing nuclear weapon delivery systems. The sanctions range from actual sales or supplies to dealings with named individuals.’
