Pressures on Iran signify West’s weakness

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad downplayed effectiveness of the western sanctions and threats against Iran, saying that these pressures are signs of the West’s weakness.

Addressing a female gathering in Iran’s Southern port city of Abadan on Monday, Ahmadinejad pointed to the decline in the West’s power, and stated, “…what they are doing is not because of their power as resolutions, threats and sanctions are the most desperate moves made by someone who is on the verge of death.”

“All these childish and foolish moves are not made due to their upper-hand stance, rather they show their helplessness and retreat,” Ahmadinejad said at the ceremony held to commemorate the Week of Sacred Defense, marking the country’s resistance against the 8-year-long Iraqi invasion in 1980.

He added that during his last week visit to New York to attend the UN General Assembly meeting he repeated the fact that sanctions against Iran will yield no result.

Ahmadinejad further underlined the current crises in the western states, and stressed, “God willing, we will soon witness the collapse of the capitalist system in the world and we should then find it among books in libraries and in museums.”

The Iranian President, in his address to the UN General Assembly meeting on Thursday, stressed that “after about one hundred years of domination, the system of Capitalism and the existing world order has proved to be unable to provide appropriate solution to the problems of societies, and that it is, thus, coming to an end.”

“For years the inefficiency of the capitalism and the existing world management and structures has been exposed and the majority of states and nations have been on a quest for fundamental changes and for the prevalence of justice in global relations,” Ahmadinejad said at the meeting.
