Iranian president told a news paper that the Wall Street crisis partly steemed from American military intervention and said that next U.S. President should back off what he said Bush's confrontational plicies.
In an interview conducted on Monday with the Los Angeles Times, Ahmadinejad said: "The U.S. government has made a series of mistakes in the past few decades. First, the imposition on the U.S. economy of heavy military engagement and involvement around the world ... the war in Iraq, for example... These are heavy costs."
"The world economy can no longer tolerate the budgetary deficit and the financial pressures occurring from markets here in the United States, and by the U.S. government," he added.
In both interviews with the Times and National Public Radio, Ahmadinejad accused the United States of pressuring the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency to probe Iran's nuclear program. He also told the Times that "all the documentation was forged" that questioned peaceful purposes of the program.
"In fact, it was so funny and superficial and not in depth that a school kid could laugh at it," the newspaper quoted him as saying.
