Iran the most powerful, says Ahmadinejad
SOURCE:- NDTV.com: Iran the most powerful, says Ahmadinejad
Iran the most powerful, says Ahmadinejad President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has proclaimed that Iran is the ''most powerful nation'' in the world as the country's air force boasted of its prowess at a time of mounting tension with the West. ''Iran is the most powerful and independent nation in the world,'' Ahmadinejad told a military parade outside Tehran marking the Islamic republic's annual army day. To mark the occasion, the armed forces were conducting a major fly-by over the parade ground, which was to include around 200 of its fighter jets and other aircraft in a bid to show the power of its air force. Iran is at odds with the West over its disputed nuclear programme, which the United States and its allies fear could be used to make nuclear weapons. Iran insists it only wants to produce nuclear energy. Ahmadinejad described Iran as ''peace-loving'' but said the army and elite Revolutionary Guards would ''react strongly to the slightest aggression'' against its soil. ''I am proud to announce today that the Iranian nation's power is of an extent that no major power can dare jeopardize the security and interests of the Iranian nation,'' said Ahmadinejad. ''The Iranian nation with its courageous army will defend its interests with all strength,'' he added. |

Iran might be the strongest non-nuclear Islamic state and is no weakling but they are strategically inept. They let Russia force them into a deal that blocks Western Companies from the Caspian insuring that the regions oil and gas have to go through Russia or Russian companies, and then got left high and dry by Russia in the UN making sure Iran's military capabilities remain 2nd rate.

No, he's not. He's a lot more idiotic, but on the bright side, he's hilarious!

It did said Iran's Basij can get 11 million troops during time of war. If they can't fight off the invasion with regular military, then the US and Western forces will be outnumbered and fighting a ground guriella war with 11 million ground troops. It's going to be another Iraq, except the US will be outnumbered 10 to 1. It will be interesting to see how it turns out...

"The Basij Resistance Force is equipped with the most modern and up-to-date weapons and is undergoing the most advanced training. It is making such achievements that if the enemy finds out it will tremble and have a heart attack."

That reminds me of the comical fellow who was the mouthpiece for Iraq during the invasion! ![]()

The only reasons we are running into problems with Iraq is we are trying to build them up. Much harder than crushing them. |
