Ahmadinejad’s speech Tuesday will come just hours after U.S. President George W. Bush makes his final address to the General Assembly.
Iran’s president, whose appearance at the U.N. General Assembly last year sparked protests by thousands in the streets and an American walkout during his speech, returns to the United Nations Tuesday amid heightened concerns over his country’s nuclear ambitions.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speech comes after the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency warned Monday that he cannot determine whether Iran is hiding some nuclear activities. The Iranian leader warned over the weekend that Iran’s military would strike back against anyone targeting his country’s nuclear facilities.
“If anyone allows himself to commit even a tiny offense against Iran’s legitimate interests, borders and sacred land, our armed forces will break his hand before he pulls the trigger,” Ahmadinejad said during a military parade Sunday.
Iran insists its nuclear activities are geared only toward generating power. But Israel says the Islamic Republic could have enough nuclear material to make its first bomb within a year. The U.S. estimates Tehran is at least two years away from that stage.
Ahmadinejad’s speech Tuesday will come just hours after U.S. President George W. Bush makes his final address to the General Assembly. After seven years of criticizing the U.N. for its huge, costly bureaucracy and indecisiveness in the face of grave problems, Bush is expected to stress the need for multinational diplomacy in a 15-minute speech.ans
