TEHRAN (AFP) — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday proclaimed Iran as the "most powerful nation" on earth as the country's air force showed off its prowess at a time of mounting tension with the West.Click here to read more.
"Iran is the most powerful and independent nation in the world," Ahmadinejad told a military parade outside Tehran marking the Islamic republic's annual Army Day, reaffirming one of his favoured slogans.
Ahmadinejad said all the branches of the armed forces would react forcefully in response to any attack against Iran's soil and boasted that no one would dare to launch a strike on the country...
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."
Ahmadinejad's boasts over Iran's military strength strikes a soft spot for Americans, and the Iranian air force's display of power only helped to build the tension between the countries. The question remains: What will happen between the U.S. and Iran in the near future?
