TEHRAN — The U.S. and Israel plan to
attack two countries in the Middle East, Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad said on Friday.
Ahmadinejad stated that the West has devised a new plot against Iran,
adding, “They… want to create a tense atmosphere against us in the
world, put pressure on us, mount pressure… and with the help of Israel,
attack one or two countries in the Middle East that are our friends.”
The U.S. drew up the scenario and Russia set it into motion, he said during a speech at a youth festival in Tehran.
Ahmadinejad also expressed regret that the Russian president has become the mouthpiece of Iran’s enemy.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has recently expressed concern
about the nature of the Iranian nuclear program and has asked Iranian
officials to explain the country’s nuclear activities.
However, the Iranian president said Iran and Russia are friends and Tehran wants to maintain amicable ties with Moscow.
Iran to launch remote sensing satellite
Ahmadinejad also said that Iran plans to launch a remote sensing satellite in the near future.
He went on to say that Iran will send the first Iranian
astronaut into space by Iranian calendar year 1398 (March 2019-March
2020).
