Iran vows to remove world's 'corrupt leadership'
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday set Iran its latest mission of wiping out the "corrupt world leadership," and said sanctions and threats were nothing but scraps of paper. "The Iranian nation will not give up until the corrupt leadership in the world has been obliterated," Ahmadinejad said in the Shiite holy city of Mashhad, northeast Iran, quoted by the Fars news agency. "Our foes should know that threats, sanctions, and political and economic pressures can not force our nation to back down," he added.Ahmadinejad outlined two goals for the Islamic republic and its people. "We have two missions, to build Islamic Iran and to exert an effort to change the leadership in the world. We have to carry out both (missions) as well as we can," he said.
