Ahmadinejad labels US 'enemies of all humanity'
DAKAR
Petroleumworld.com, Mar 14, 2008
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday labelled the United States "enemies of all humanity" because of Washington's military tactics in the Middle East and support for Israel.
"They are not just the enemies of Islam they are enemies of all humanity," Ahmadinejad told a press conference on the sidelines of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference summit in Dakar.
Asked about US military tactics in the Middle East including the presence of US warships off the coast of Lebanon, the Iranian leader said: "These measures don't show their power, they show their weakness. Attacking women and children doesn't show authority or power."
Ahmadinejad also said he believed the dispute with the United States and its western allies over Iran's nuclear programme was over but that hostilities would continue.
"We believe that as far as the law is concerned the nuclear dispute is finished but that the hostilities with these countries will continue," Ahmadinejad told the press conference.
