Ahmadinejad's speech about US sanctions April 2010
U.S. allies on Wednesday supported President Barack Obama's new policy aimed at reducing nuclear arms. But, Iran considered as a possible target under the sanctions, referred to Obama's guidelines as a "coward like" action by a presidential newcomer and suggested the policy was doomed to fail. Ahmadinejad believes that the US and Russia are concerned that Iran will surpass them in what they refer to as "new technological developments in nuclear science."  Iran believes the US sanctions will not stop his country from becoming #1 in Nuclear Physics. He called Obama a coward because he is trying to remove Iran as a competitor instead of, working with Iran to develop increasingly more powerful methods of defense. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters that the US focus would be centered on three important issues: Terror groups such as, al-Qaida, North Korea's nuclear strategies and Iran's nuclear policies. "American materialist politicians, whenever they are backed up against the wall by other intelligent leaders, will resort to using threats like "politically young cowards," and remove the competiton, Ahmadinejad told a spectator crowd of several thousand in northwestern Iran. "The U.S. considers North Korea and Iran nuclear rogues - Pyongyang for developing and testing nuclear weapons and Tehran because it is suspected of trying to do the same under the cover of a peaceful program, something Iran denies," claims Iran's Associated Press.

AP) TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - U.S. allies on Wednesday lined up behind President Barack Obama's new policy aimed at reducing the likelihood of nuclear conflict. But Iran - classified as a possible target under the guidelines - dismissed it as a "cowboy" policy by a political newcomer doomed to fail. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, in the Slovak capital Bratislava for an official visit, did not address the issue before leaving for Prague to sign a landmark treaty Thursday with Obama aimed at paring U.S.-Russian strategic nuclear weapons by 30 percent. But Washington's supporters in Asia and Europe welcomed Obama's pledge Tuesday to reduce America's nuclear arsenal, refrain from nuclear tests and not use nuclear weapons against countries that do not have them. North Korea and Iran were not included in that pledge because they do not cooperate with other countries on nonproliferation standards. The U.S. considers them nuclear rogues - Pyongyang for developing and testing nuclear weapons and Tehran because it is suspected of trying to do the same under the cover of a peaceful program, something Iran denies. Outlining the policy Tuesday, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the focus would now be on terror groups such as al-Qaida as well as North Korea's nuclear buildup and Iran's nuclear ambitions. Addressing thousands in the country's northwest, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad derided Obama over the plan. "American materialist politicians, whenever they are beaten by logic, immediately resort to their weapons like cowboys," Ahmadinejad said in a speech before a crowd of several thousand in northwestern Iran. "Mr. Obama, you are a newcomer (to politics). Wait until your sweat dries and get some experience. Be careful not to read just any paper put in front of you or repeat any statement recommended," Ahmadinejad said in the speech, aired live on state TV. Ahmadinejad said Obama "is under the pressure of capitalists and the Zionists" and vowed Iran would not be pushed around. "(American officials) bigger than you, more bullying than you, couldn't do a damn thing, let alone you," he said, addressing Obama.
