Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that he has documented evidence that the United States was trying to prevent the coming of the Hidden Imam [Mahdi] (messiah).According to a Khabar Online report, Ahmadinejad expounded on the plots hatched by the East and West for the annihilation of Iran.
“[Ronald] Regan and his foreign minister were two of the stupidest people in the world,” he said, addressing an audience of the families of martyrs and altruists in Isfahan on Friday.
Referring to his June reelection, Ahmadinejad said, “The enemy… was hyping the issue as if the Iranian nation has been weakened and as if this was the best opportunity to get concessions from them. But your humble son [Ahmadinejad] stood in front of the oppressive powers and shouted: You are dead wrong! The Iranian nation will put you in your place.”“In the recent [post-election] incident, they claimed that they had devised a plan that could bring hundreds of governments to their knees,” he continued. “But he who is on the righteous path will always be victorious and will never see defeat.”
Ahmadinejad said that the oppressive powers were after Iran’s oil and other natural resources. “They have a reason for this and they act upon that reason,” he said. “However, they do not break the news about it. We have documented proof that they believe that a descendant of the prophet of Islam will raise in these parts [Middle East] and he will dry the roots of all injustice in the world. They have devised all these plans to prevent the coming of the Hidden Imam because they know that the Iranian nation is the one that will prepare the grounds for his coming and will be the supporters of his rule.”
“They have planned to annihilate Iran. This is while all policymakers and analysts believe Iran is the true winner in the Middle East,” he went on to proclaim.
“In Afghanistan, they are caught like an animal in a quagmire. But instead of pulling their troops out to save themselves, they are deploying more soldiers. Even if they stay in Afghanistan for another 50 years they will be forced to leave with disgrace — because this is a historical experience [repeated countless times]. In my last visit to New York, I asked them, ‘Is there not one sane person in your country to tell you these things?’”
Ahmadinejad said that the most important region of the world was the Middle East and the most important country in the Middle East was Iran.
“They know themselves that they need Iran in the Middle East, but because of their arrogance they do not want to accept this reality. They are nothing without the Iranian nation and all their rhetoric is because they don’t want to appear weak.”
