Mahmoud Ahmedinajad Asks Britain and US to Stop Interfering in Iran

Reuters, citing Iran’s internal ISNA news agency, reports that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran called on the United States and Britain to stop interfering in the Islamic Republic’s internal affairs.

“Definitely by hasty remarks you will not be placed in the circle of friendship with the Iranian nation. Therefore I advise you to correct your interfering stances,” Mr. Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying in a meeting with clerics and scholars.

The speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Ali Larijani, echoed Mr. Ahmadinejad’s comments on Sunday, warning the U.S., Britain, Germany and France not to interfere in the country’s internal affairs lest Iran respond to them in other fields, according to ISNA.

Stances adopted by the president of the United States, Britain’s prime minister, Germany’s chancellor and France’s president over Iran’s presidential elections and its developments showed other aspects of their adventurism when it comes to Iranians, he said.

It is embarrassing that the U.S., which has resorted to every cruelty on Iran’s nation over half a century, including backing the toppled Shah’s regime inhumane brutalities against people and imposing Iraq war on Iran, is now worried about Iran’s territorial integrity and human rights, Mr. Larijani added. He said to the U.S., “You showed the deceitful meaning of change too soon.”

“We Iranians know the way to resolve our differences very well. There is no need to your opportunistic and imperialistic gestures,” he said.
