Ahmadinejad: Another resolution closes way to Iran-US ties

New York, May 5, IRNA – President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an interview with the US daily “ Boston Globe” on Tuesday stressed that the issuance of a new resolution in the UN Security Council against Iran tantamounts to closure of Iran-US ties for ever.

Stressing that Iran is also not concerned about it, President Ahmadinejad added that the approval of the new resolution would also imply that no changes have occurred in the US and it would be the end of President Barack Obama's era.

The end of Obama’s era would mean the end of US historic opportunity to recover its reputation in the world, Ahmadinejad added.

Responding to a question concerning the Zionist regime's threat against Iran, Ahmadinejad said that nobody can attack Iran. "You do not know Iran. Iran is a big country and in our military doctrine, the Zionist regime has no position," he stressed.

President Ahmadinejad further said that President Obama had come to power with a motto of change and with an aim of regaining US reputation in the world, but no changes have occured in significant issues; the basic issues should change. Issues which can alter US reputation in the world are Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan as well as Washington plans for confronting Iran.

He said that if President Obama could change ties with Iran, other issues would also be improved, but there are people inside the US and also a number of UN Security Council members who are pushing Obama toward taking a harsh decision against Iran.

Concerning relations between USA and Iran, he said that in case of fair conditions with respect for us, we will be for recovering relations. "We sent them good indications for recovering ties, but the response was not appropriate," Ahmadinejad said.

About nuclear fuel swap, Ahmadinejad said that for reaching an agreement, they can prepare 50 percent of the needed fuel and we deliver 50 percent of low enriched fuel to the IAEA and then we are all ready for exchange of the total amount.

President Ahmadinejad said Iran needs 100 kilograms of 20 percent enriched fuel and we are producing this amount now, but for confidence-building, we are ready for fuel-swap./end
