Ahmadinejad Marks Army Day With New Threats
Tehran, 18 April (AKI) - Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has reiterated his country's intention to press ahead with its nuclear programme, warning that "the strong army of Iran will cut off the hands of every aggressor and will humiliate the enemy." In a speech at a parade to mark Iran's Army Day, the president vowed that "Iran poses no threat to any country but will strike its enemies like a meteor." The comments come as tension between Iran and the international community escalated over Teheran’s refusal to stop enriching uranium. The president’s speech and the impressive military parade were broadcast live on state-run television. Missiles, bombs, tanks and torpedoes were paraded on trucks in central Tehran.

"Today, you are among the world’s most powerful armies because you depend on God," Ahmadinejad told the parade. “Iran’s enemies know your courage, faith and commitment to Islam and the land of Iran has created a powerful army that can powerfully defend the political borders and the integrity of the Iranian nation and cut the hand of any aggressor and place the sign of disgrace on their forehead,” Ahmadinejad said.

The latest belligerent remarks from Iran's leader come ahead of talks scheduled late Tuesday in Moscow to seek a solution to the nuclear stand off between Tehran and the West. Diplomats from six countries - Russia, the United States, China, Germany, France and Britain - are due to meet over dinner Tuesday to discuss Iran.

During recent exercises in the Persian Gulf, Iran test-fired what it called a secret missile, an “ultra-horizon” weapon that could be fired from military helicopters and jet fighters.
