I have traveled to all the continents except for one, and I know what is going on out there... The world is rapidly becoming Ahmadinejadized.
Mahmoud AhmadinejadAnyone who recognizes this regime [Israel] because of the pressure of the World oppressor, or because of naivetรฉ or selfishness, will be eternally disgraced and will burn in the fury of the Islamic nations.
Mahmoud AhmadinejadThe United States' administrations... must recognize that Iran is a big power. Having said that, we consider ourselves to be a human force and a cultural power and hence a friend of other nations. We have never sought to dominate others or to violate the rights of any other country.
Mahmoud AhmadinejadToday too, the most important issue in the world is Palestine. If a war breaks out in Iraq, we believe it is due to the provocation of the Zionists. If it happens in Afghanistan, it is because of their provocation. If Sudan is oppressed, it is due to Zionist seduction. We consider all the arrogant, colonialist schemes to be inspired by the Zionists.
