Iran Hits Out at Western ‘Terror’

UN: Iran’s president has launched a scathing attack on Western powers, accusing them of spreading “war, bloodshed and terror” in the Middle East and Afghanistan.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told the UN General Assembly on Wednesday that Tehran was prepared to warmly shake all those hands which are honestly extended to us.

But he accused the West of hypocrisy, saying it preached democracy but violated its fundamental principles.

Already speaking to a half-empty chamber, his attacks on the US and its allies – including Israel’s barbaric attack on the Gaza Strip, its inhuman policies in the Palestinian territories and its domination of world political and economic affairs – prompted a walkout by the US delegation.
