President: US officials will soon see Iran's technological achievements
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Dec 13, IRNA -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday derided the US officials for refusing to admit that Iran has guided the stealth AQ-170 Sentinel aircraft to land.
He told Venezuelan TV, Telesur, that the Americans would wait for a while to get acquainted with Iran's new capabilities.
The president said that Iran has launched mass production of advanced radar-evading drones.
President Ahmadinejad smiled when asked why the US officials do not admit Iran has intercepted electronic system of the aircraft and guided it to land with no damage and said, 'The Americans seem to have guided the aircraft to land in Iran themselves!'
He said that Iranian experts who managed to bring down the stealth aircraft have easily gained access to its database too.
Responding to a question that the Americans believe that the advanced technology used in RQ-170 is not useful for Iran and only Russia or China may use it, President Ahmadinejad said that let them be happy with such an idea, but, they will get acquainted with Iran's new capabilities soon.
The TV broadcaster recalled Iran's humanitarian move to free three young Americans who had crossed Iranian border from Iraq and asked whether the US administration has taken similar humanitarian steps to free Iranian nationals languishing in jails in the United States.
President Ahmadinejad said that Iranian nation has great civilization and does not have any problem with the American people and the American people also don't have problem with Iran.
'The odds remain with the US ruling system.'
He said that Iranian public expected the US administration to reciprocate the release of the three Americans and take similar step.
'We still are not disappointed and expect them to do so, but, the colonialist background of the US ruling system will not allow it to take humanitarian step.'
President Ahmadinejad said that he believes that it is hard for President Obama to reciprocate and release the Iranian prisoners, because, the US administration is under full control of the Zionists whose survivals are tied to war and bloodshed and plundering the wealth of other nations.
He said that the US administration accuses Iran of attempting to build atomic bomb, but Iran does not need such bombs.
They have stockpiles of nuclear arms and used them against other nations time and again.
'Those who accuse Iran of producing atomic bomb are the same people who ruled the United States on the dark days of colonialism and they exploited the indigenous Americans and are currently plundering the wealth of other nations systematically,' President Ahmadinejad said.
Asked about attack on the UK Embassy in Tehran, President Ahnadinejad said that the Foreign Ministry has declared stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the security officials are investigating the matter.
Elsewhere in the interview, the President said that the US and its allies don't believe in democracy and they prefer their own benefits to human rights.
'There are countries in the region which have not held free elections yet, but, have friendly relations with Washington. Can you think those who supported military coups in Latin America may back democracy?'
He said that the US and its allies are imposing war on other nations to solve their own economic problems. How can they support peace and freedom? the President asked.
