Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia University 2007
Are we to believe Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he makes bold statements such as this:
"If anyone allows himself to commit even a tiny offense against Iran's legitimate interests, borders and sacred land, our armed forces will break his hand before he pulls the trigger," Ahmadinejad said during the parade.
“Tiny offense?” “Break his hand before he pulls the trigger?”
"Washington and its Western allies are pushing for quick passage of a fourth set of sanctions to underline the international community's resolve.
But Ahmadinejad said Sunday that sanctions only help Iran achieve self-sufficiency.
"Those who once imposed sanctions, today should open their eyes and see our nation's technical achievements," he said.
Both the United States and its ally Israel say they support a diplomatic solution to the nuclear standoff with Iran but cannot rule out the military option.
"Today, Iran is not in a position to show softness toward its enemies," said Ahmadinejad, but added that threats made against Iran's nuclear facilities amounted to only "psychological warfare."
So far "psychological warfare" has worked pretty well against Iran.
Can Ahmadinejad succeed in using it back against the "enemies" he is speaking of?
Or are these promises?
