Imperialism always pillaging nations

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says imperialist powers have always been trying to pillage the resources and assets of nations through complicated schemes.

Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday during his visit to southern Persian Gulf port of Assalouyeh: “Controlling the assets of nations has always been on the agenda of imperialism and imperialists have always tried their utmost to prevent other nations from achieving their interests.”
Ahmadinejad said the current economic relations governing the world are influenced by political ties, which indicates the continued existence of imperialism.
Referring to obstructions caused by Western companies and countries for Iran’s oil industry, Ahmadinejad said, “Those who have imposed sanctions against us are the owners of the same companies that do not give us goods and equipments.”
He added: “Today, Assalouyeh and South Pars can be the starting point of a new history in our country by resisting against monopolization.”
The illegal US-engineered sanctions were imposed based on the unfounded accusation that Iran is pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.
Iran rejects the allegations, noting that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
