Ahmadinejad laughs off UNSC referral
2006-02-06
IRAN'S hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today brushed off a decision by the International Atomic Energy Agency to report his country to the UN Security Council as "funny" and labelled his country's enemies as "idiots".

"You can pass as many resolutions as you like and be happy about it, but you cannot stop the progress of the Iranian people... We thank God that our enemies are idiots," he was quoted as saying by Iranian news agencies.

"We don't need you. It is you who need the Iranian people. This is the funniest decision I've seen," said the austere president. "They are angry at the Islamic Republic, because the Iranian people have reached the summit of science and technology."

And in a direct challenge to the West, he said: "You know you cannot do anything, because the era of domination and repression is over and we are no longer in the Middle Ages."
