Ahmadinejad: US will one day 'beg' Iran for ties
The Associated Press, Tehran | Mon, 10/18/2010 4:12 PM
Iran's president claims the United States
will one day apologize and "beg" Tehran that the two countries
resume diplomatic relations.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also says the U.S. administration has
allegedly become so weakened that it can't harm Iran in any way.
U.S.-Iran relations broke off after the U.S. Embassy
hostage-taking that followed the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which
brought Islamic clerics to power in Iran and ousted the pro-U.S.
shah.
The Iranian leader's rhetoric often includes comments seeking to
portray Iran as somehow superior to America.
Ahmadinejad has made a slew of different statements, at times
urging U.S.-Iranian friendship while at other times predicting
America's demise.
His latest remarks were reported Monday by the official IRNA news
agency.
