Ahmadinejad: US Creating Conflict Between Islamic Republic and KSA
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says Washington's latest allegations are meant to create discord between the Islamic Republic and Saudi Arabia.
In an interview with Al jazeera Channel on Monday night, President Ahmadinejad said "Creating conflicts in relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia in order to dominate the region and diverting attention from the United States' internal problems are the most important objectives of this baseless allegation against the Iranian nation, but experience shows that such measures never bear fruit for US officials, and the truth will eventually be known by all nations."
The Iranian President denied the allegations that Iran was involved in a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington, saying that the United States has pointed the finger at Iran to divert attention from the ongoing protests in the country.
"The economic problems of the US are very serious, and accusing Iran is not going to solve any problem," he added.
In reply to a question about Iran's reaction to the United States' move to refer the allegations to the United Nations Security Council, Ahmadinejad said, "The Security Council is dominated by the United States, and the US government has been against the Iranian nation for the past 30 years." He noted that "all the decisions in the UN are made by a body which only has five members, clearly indicates that the UN is undemocratic and unjust."
The Iranian president also stated that Washington has accused Iran of involvement in the terrorist plot in order to provide a pretext to strengthen the international sanctions imposed on the Islamic Republic.
