Ahmadinejad: Hegemonic Powers on Verge of Collapse

"The hegemony front is at the end of the road," the president was quoted by IRNA as saying in a ceremony late Friday, marking the 22nd anniversary of the passing of the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Imam Khomeini.

The Iranian President said the United States, which is the world's leading hegemonic power, is on the verge of collapse and will soon fall apart.

"Hegemony, today, is the last impediment to the monotheism front, and if we can overcome this obstacle, the monotheistic movement to achieve prosperity will be all downhill all the way," he underlined.

President Ahmadinejad further pointed out that the Iranian nation has stood up to hegemonic powers and thwarted all their plots. However, he said, Iranians need to remain vigilant as the enemy is pressing ahead with its schemes. He said colonialists have put on a new mask as part of their efforts to save the ailing US economy and the Zionist regime of "Israel".

President Ahmadinejad underlined that "war on hegemony" centers on "dealing with the US domination and "Israel's" existence."
