Ahmadinejad: U.N. Sanctions Have No Effect on Iran Armed Forces

[hellinon]

TEHRAN, Iran — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (javascript:siteSearch('President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad');) said Wednesday that U.N. (javascript:siteSearch('U.N.');) sanctions slapped on his nation over its nuclear program had no effect on Iran (javascript:siteSearch('Iran');)'s armed forces, claiming that his military was self-sufficient.
"Some bullying powers imagined that by implementing sanctions they would weaken our army, (but) today our army is self-sufficient and secures its needs in general," Ahmadinejad said in a speech in Tehran marking National Army Day.
After decades of reliance on foreign weapons purchases, Iran's military has been working to boost its domestic production of armaments.
Since 1992, it has produced its own tanks, armored personnel carriers, missiles and a fighter plane. It announced in 2005 that it had begun production of torpedoes.
Iran's military had a defensive and deterrent role, Ahmadinejad said in his Wednesday address, but it "will counter any invader and cut off its hand."
He delivered his address standing under a large banner declaring: "Peaceful nuclear technology is an essential need of our country."

Two things are going to happen:

1. Some countries will try to use this retarded propaganda as the world's worst smokescreen for continuing to break the UN's sieve-like sanctions against Iran; and

2. The UN will buy said excuses hook-line-and-sinker.
