IRI President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at least 9 among 15 countries which voted positively to the UN Security Council’s anti-Iran resolution have announced that they do not accept this resolution and have voted under pressure.
In an interview with PBS TV network, he added Iran’s economy is growing and anti-Iran sanctions could not obstruct our economic progress. Anti-Iran sanctions would indeed motivate Iranians to multiply their efforts, he reiterated.
It is a reality that Iran’s situation is getting better, he said adding, but it does not mean that there is not any difficulty in Iran. All countries face some difficulties. Even in US, in the past month 93 thousands people have lost their homes.
After anti-Iran sanctions approved, Iran’s stock exchange market has witnessed 20 percent growth in a way that the World Federation of Exchanges introduced it as the most active and successful bourse in the world, the president said.
Obama: military action against Iran not ideal
ILNA: U.S. President Barack Obama said on Monday a war between Israel and Iran, or U.S. military strikes were not the ideal way to resolve the nuclear stand-off with Iran.
We don’t think that a war between Israel and Iran or military options would be the ideal way to solve this problem. But we are keeping all our options on the table," he stated.
President Barack Obama will tell Iran the "door is open" to better relations with the international community, if it can demonstrate the peaceful intent of its nuclear program,in the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday in New York as the White House said on Monday.
The United Nations Security Council, along with the United States and the European Union, have imposed tougher sanctions on Iran, which has defied international calls for it to halt uranium enrichment.
United States and its allies, including Israel, fear Tehran’s nuclear program is a cover to build an atomic bomb and Iran says it needs the enriched uranium for the peaceful generation of electricity.
