Iranian President Blames US Military Engagements For
Market Collapse

Iran’s president blamed U.S. military interventions around
the world in part for the collapse of global financial
markets and said the campaign against his country’s nuclear
program was solely due to the Bush administration “and a
couple of their European friends.”

The interviews of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, before his
speech to the United Nations on Tuesday, came after the
head of the International Atomic Energy Agency warned that
he could not determine whether Iran is hiding some nuclear
activities.

Last year, thousands rallied at the United Nations to
protest Ahmadinejad’s speech. When Ahmadinejad was ushered
to the podium of the General Assembly to speak, the U.S.
delegation walked out, leaving only a low-ranking note-
taker to listen to his speech.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Ahmadinejad
said the collapse of global financial markets was due in
large part to U.S. military interventions abroad.

“Problems do not arise suddenly,” he said. “The U.S.
government has made a series of mistakes in the past few
decades. The imposition on the U.S. economy of the years
of heavy military engagement and involvement around the
world… the war in Iraq, for example. These are heavy
costs imposed on the U.S. economy.

“The world economy can no longer tolerate the budgetary
deficit and the financial pressures occurring from markets
here in the United States, and by the U.S. government,”
he added.

In a separate interview with National Public Radio,
Ahmadinejad said he does not want confrontation with the
United States. He said he wants diplomatic relations to
develop between the two countries and was willing, for
example, to cooperate on upholding security in Iraq.

“We do not have confrontations with anyone,” he said. “The
U.S. administration interferes, and we defend ourselves.”

Despite U.N. sanctions against Iran over its nuclear
program, Ahmadinejad claimed vast international support
for his position and said the campaign consisted “of
only three or four countries, led by the United States
and with a couple of their European friends.”

Ahmadinejad claimed that the “people of the world — the
majority actually — support our stand.”

The Iranian leader warned over the weekend that the
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 will come just hours after President
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.

Bush also is to meet Tuesday with Pakistani President
Asif Ali Zardari. Topping their talks will be the series
of suspected U.S. missile attacks and an American-led
cross-border ground assault in Pakistan’s volatile
northwest that have angered public opinion.

The vice president of Sudan and leaders from Georgia,
Lebanon, Kenya, Somalia, France, Liberia and Argentina
are also among those addressing the General Assembly on
Tuesday.

On Monday, leaders gathered for a high-level meeting on
Africa’s development needs. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
urged the world’s rich nations to spend $72 billion a year
to help Africa achieve U.N. goals to fight poverty, improve
health and ensure universal primary education.

A new report from the secretary-general said not a single
African country is likely to achieve all the U.N.
Millennium Development Goals by the target date of 2015.

Ban said last week he was deeply concerned that the current
economic slowdown and turmoil on Wall Street could have a
“very serious negative impact” on the ability of rich
nations to help achieve the targets, first and foremost to
cut extreme poverty by half.

Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, who heads the African
Union, added his concern, warning Monday that “if the
crisis is to continue, it will certainly have serious,
serious implications.” But he was hopeful that the
financial turmoil will be short-lived.

“There may not be easy answers, but I believe the U.S. will
overcome, and the world will overcome this unfortunate
situation,” he said.
