President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Sunday that if international treaties failed to secure the legitimate rights of all nations, they would become invalid.
His remarks came during an address to a gathering of Basij (volunteer forces) commanders and officials.
If signing an international treaty (in reference to the NPT) led to the violation of a nation's rights, "then that nation would revise its decision and the treaty would become invalid," said the president.
He reiterated that Iranians have repeatedly announced that they favor peace and tranquility for the whole world and that their (nuclear) progress is not a threat to any nation." President Ahmadinejad criticized certain Western powers for drafting a harsh resolution to be issued by the United Nations Security Council against Iran.
"Enemies believe that getting their illegitimate decisions approved by the UNSC will give them legitimacy," said the president, adding that the global arrogance was creating tensions and meddling in the internal affairs of other countries, Muslim states in particular."
"They (enemies) do not like to see the Islamic world make progress and attain development," Ahmadinejad said, stressing that all regional and international relations have quickly changed shortly after Iran announced that it has completed the nuclear fuel cycle.
Now that Iranian nation has achieved modern technologies, "it is capable of becoming an unquestionable world power very soon," said the president.
In a clear reference to Western powers, Ahmadinejad warned If they are to make wrong decisions about Iran or issue any statement or resolution in this regard, then they should notice that the Iranian nation would totally ignore their illegitimate resolutions.
