Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday more U.N. sanctions
against his country over its nuclear program would not stop Iran but
could permanently wreck its ties with the United States.
"Sanctions
cannot stop the Iranian nation. The Iranian nation is able to withstand
the pressure of the United States and its allies," Ahmadinejad told a
news conference in New York, where he is attending a United Nations
conference.
"While we do not welcome sanctions, we do not fear them either," he
said, speaking through an interpreter.
The United States and five other major powers are negotiating a
fourth set of U.N. Security Council sanctions against Iran over its
refusal to halt uranium enrichment. They expect the resolution to go
through within the next few weeks.
The West accuses Tehran of aiming to develop atomic weapons, but Iran
says its nuclear work is for peaceful power generation.
During his 90-minute news conference, Ahmadinejad warned that if new
sanctions are passed it "will mean relations between Iran and the U.S.
will never be improved again."
Diplomatic ties between the two countries were severed in 1980 when
Iranian militants were holding more than 50 American diplomats hostage
at the U.S. embassy in Tehran.
