West hatches plots to plunder regional oil: Ahmadinejad

Iran’s President says the Western powers are hatching long-term plots to plunder the oil and other riches of the region, stressing that such efforts are aimed at saving the Israeli regime.

Western countries have repeatedly waged different wars to dominate energy resources, said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday.

He added that arrogant and hegemonic powers changed their slogans and masks after they were driven out by nations but they made no change in their objectives and plans.

Arrogant powers set up international organizations and preside over them to achieve their aims which are based on plundering the assets of regional nations, he pointed out.

The Iranian chief executive noted that world nations are awakened at present, saying the arrogant powers seek to turn this awakening in their own interests and dominate nations.

Ahmadinejad cautioned that these powers are using leaders of regional countries as a tool to reach their goals.

He emphasized that the nations in the region and across the world should remain vigilant and added, if countries seek to achieve independence and freedom, they should stand on their feet because hegemonic powers merely think of their own interests.

Ahmadinejad said that arrogant powers and looters intend to play a new game under a new guise.
