Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran would retaliate if the US struck the country militarily.

Speaking in Abu Dhabi, Mr Ahmadinejad also said Iran had agreed for the benefit of the Iraqi people to meet with the US in Baghdad to discuss security in Iraq.

“They (the U.S.) cannot strike Iran,” he said at a press conference during a two-day visit to the UAE. “The Iranian people can protect themselves and retaliate.”

The Iranian president’s comments followed those by US Vice President **** Cheney who said on Friday from the deck of an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf that the US and its allies would prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and dominating the region.



Despite the tense words, the US and Iran yesterday announced they had agreed to meet in Baghdad to discuss security and stability in Iraq.

“Both parties have confirmed the talks will take place in Baghdad in the presence of the Iraqi government,” Mr Ahmadinejad said today.

“We decided we were ready and prepared to do this to support the Iraqi people.”

The US and Israel are really pushing their weight about. Although Iran is a very censored state, they have every right to their own soverignty. Although I disagree with them having nuclear capabilities, but then again, I disagree with any country harboring nuclear weapons. Too much destruction!
