Ahmadinejad says Iran will not bow to international threats, Iran state TV reports.

Bloomberg - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the citizens of the Shiite Islamic republic will never bow to international military threats, the official state television station reported on its website.
Iran doesn’t “care about your bombs, warships and planes,” state television cited Ahmadinejad as saying today during a speech in the city of Karaj in Alborz province, northwest of Tehran. “Western powers should recognize the rights of nations and cooperate with them to survive,” Ahmadinejad said.
Iran’s economy is being squeezed by tougher sanctions imposed this year by the U.S. and the European Union, which say they are needed to restrain the country’s nuclear program. The U.S. and its allies say Iran is seeking the capability to make an atomic bomb. Iran says its program is for civilian energy and medical research.
President Barack Obama said on March 6 that there is a “window of opportunity” for diplomacy and sanctions to compel Iran to give up any effort to develop nuclear weapons. Two days later, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Obama’s comments were “good words.”
