Ahmadinejad: Sanctions Would Hurt U.S. More Than Iran
-----------------------------------------------------



Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continues to speak out against
U.S. policy toward Iran during a trip here in New York. Ahmadinejad is
in town attending a United Nations conference reviewing the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty. On Tuesday, Ahmadinejad dismissed a United
Nations Security Council meeting on imposing new sanctions on Iran.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: “While we do not welcome
sanctions, we do not fear them either. We feel and think that the U.S.
government will be damaged more than us by those sanctions.”
