Larijani says US cannot bully Iran
TEHRAN - The United States must understand that it cannot bully Iran and should respect the rights of the Islamic republic, parliament speaker Ali Larijani said in the eastern city of Tabas on Sunday.Not until we get a new president, anyway ... They (US administration) should respect Iran's rights and understand that you cannot bully Iran,' Larijani said in a speech marking the 30th anniversary of the failed US mission to release American embassy staff taken hostage in the wake of the Islamic revolution of 1979. Larijani, whose speech was broadcast live on state television, also criticised diplomatic overtures by US President Barack Obama, saying they were followed by harsh and sometimes threatening behaviour.' The senior lawmaker boasted that Western countries were now humbled in front of Iran's military might' and did not dare to attack' the Islamic republic. Instead of understanding the region, they want to deceive. You must understand that we are now living in a post-US era,' Larijani said, as the crowd shouted Death to America!' Yeah yeah yeah, whatever ... Posted by: Steve White 2010-04-26 |
