Iran Must Not Yield to U.S. Atomic Pressure -Khamenei

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran should never yield to U.S. pressure over its nuclear program, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech late on Monday.

The United States has accused Iran of using its domestic nuclear energy program as a smokescreen for steps to build atomic weapons.

Khamenei said Iran's nuclear program was geared to peaceful ends and the Islamic Republic's religious principles prevented it from ever resorting to atomic weapons.

"The United States is treating the whole world as if nations were indebted to it; showing any sign of weakness, and any tendency to yield to U.S. demands would be the gravest strategic mistake," he said in a speech carried by television and the state news agency IRNA on Tuesday morning.

"We cannot compromise over our fundamentals, just in order to please a part of the world that...is headed by the arrogant United States," he added.

1. The USA invaded the wrong Nation it seems. It is Iranians who would

welcome us with flowers and kisses.

My Persian friends from Iran tell me 80 % of the people hate the Mullahs and cannot wait to be free. Taxi drivers ask visiting Iranians when the USA will come to free THEM/

They hate this Theocratic Gov't.

Women have to wear oppressing clothes in public.

Underneath, its all Gucchi/Versace/GAP. When they meet in private, the women look like here in America, all dressed up but no where to go. Its all very frustrating and if the Americans come to make Iran free, the celebration would be one big PARTY.

Bush fucked up./ He went where there is no return/no victory/no appreciation/ no reward/

Soon he will become a four letter word. BUSH YOU ASSHOLE!!! will ring throughout the streets and alleys of America/World.
