No power can block Iran’s path to progress: Ahmadinejad

Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the country’s development is gaining momentum and no power is capable of blocking its progress.

Addressing the opening ceremony of a steel mill in the southern province of Fars, Ahmadinejad said on Thursday that no power is capable of blocking the Iranian nation’s progressive drive.
He noted that certain parties may be able to slow down the pace of Iran’s progress temporarily, but they will never be able to block it entirely. Ahmadinejad also hailed Iran’s extensive achievements in various areas, saying, “News about Iran’s breakthroughs are so numerous that certain people cannot believe it … and some others close their eyes and say nothing has been done; however, what has been done is quite clear and tangible.”
He further stressed that no power can hinder the progress of a powerful nation.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Ahmadinejad welcomed the opening of the Pasargad Steel Mill in Fars as a sign of the country’s dynamic industry, and called on officials, banks and other sectors to join hands and facilitate the country’s progress.
