Ahmadinejad says Iran unity at highest level ever

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in an interview that the Iranian nation is currently demonstrating the highest level of unity in its history.

“Today, the highest level of unity and social solidarity exists in the country,” Ahmadinejad told Russia’s VIP-Premier magazine. “Considering Iran’s history, [such unity] is extraordinary.”

“The recent presidential election, which demonstrated the highest level of eligible voter participation of 85 percent, shows that the solidarity has grown over the past 30 years [since the victory of the Islamic Revolution],” he said.

He also touched on the country’s nuclear issue and said Iran does not need nuclear weapons.

President Ahmadinejad said nuclear weapons are of no use anymore and that Iran can defend itself without them.

Iran says its nuclear program is aimed at the civilian applications of the technology and has called for the removal of all weapons of mass destruction from across the globe.

The West, however, accuses the country of seeking military objectives in its nuclear pursuit. The UN nuclear watchdog has failed to prove the allegation.

In his interview, President Ahmadinejad said the West had failed in its propaganda campaign against Iran.
