Ahmadinejad: "Iran Is the Most Powerful Nation in the World"
[AFP] "Iran is the most powerful and independent nation in the world," Iranian President Ahmadinejad proclaimed on Thursday at a military parade marking the Islamic republic's annual Army Day, as dozens of fighter jets and other aircraft flew over the parade ground. Among the weapons on display was Iran's Shahab-3 missile, whose range includes Israel and even the fringes of Europe. A truck carrying other missiles also carried the slogan "Death to Israel," while "Death to America" had been written on another vehicle. Ahmadinejad repeated his belief that the power of Iran meant the prevailing world order was set to be turned on its head. "Thanks to the resistance of the Iranian people, the great powers have become bogged down. The region and the world must prepare for great changes and the disappearance of satanic powers."
