Ahmadinejad says West fails to break Iran's nuclear determination
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the West has failed to prevent Iran from developing its nuclear program.
Ahmadinejad's comments Thursday were his first since the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany offered Iran a new package of incentives to suspend uranium enrichment.
"In the nuclear case, bullying powers applied all their power, but they could not break the will of the Iranian nation," state radio quoted Ahmadinejad as saying in a speech to clerics in the city of Qom.
Iranian officials have said they will not agree to suspend uranium enrichment.
