Ahmadinejad: Sanctions are a Blessing from Allah



Tehran, 19 Sept. (AKI) - Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said his country should "thank Allah" for any further sanctions the United Nations Security Council may approve against it.

"The more sanctions imposed on us the more we should thank Allah. The sanctions show the weakness of those who approve them," Ahmadinejad told journalists in Tehran.

He was speaking ahead of a meeting of the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany on Friday in the US city of Washington D.C. on Friday to debate a planned fourth round of UN sanctions against Iran over its uranium enrichment programme.
