Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Warns the US and Its Allies Not to Intervene Militarily in the Region: "Iran and the Other Countries Will Strike You with an Iron Fist" and "Will Dig Graves for Your Soldiers"

Following are excerpts from speeches delivered by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, at Bushehr and at Khoram Abad, which aired on IRINN, the Iranian news channel, on February 15 and March 2, 2011:

February 15, 2011 Bushehr:

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Those masters sitting there [in the West] should know that the nation has found its path to success, and will not listen to their propaganda. We will not rest until we conquer all the mountaintops and all the palaces of the cruel people in the world.

March 2, 2011, Khoram Abad:

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: It seems to me that [the US and its allies], by means of propaganda, are plotting military intervention in various countries. Let me inform them that the current situation is not the same as it was ten years ago, in the days of the previous US president, who, by means of the fraud known as September 11, established the conditions to violate Iraq and Afghanistan. You should know that if you meddle, one more time, in the affairs of any North African or Middle Eastern country, with your military forces, the countries of the region will arise, and will dig graves for your soldiers.

[…]

You should know that if you employ new tactics and new deceptions to pursue colonialist goals, Iran and other countries in the region will strike you with an iron fist, and will send all your colonialist aspirations to the grave.
