Time reports it was interviewing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today as President Barack Obama and his counterparts from France and Great Britain were raising the prospect of slapping sanctions on Iran because of a nuclear enrichment site it had tried to keep secret.
Ahmadinejad, Time says:
Seemed nonplussed by questions about the newly-revealed plant; ... Ahmadinejad's response meandered from the defensive to the aggressive. "This does not mean we must inform Mr. Obama's administration of every facility that we have," he said.
He warned that if Obama brings up the uranium facility, it "simply adds to the list of issues to which the United States owes the Iranian nation an apology over. Rest assured that this will be the case. We do everything transparently."
He added, "I'm not the person who should be giving this advice to Mr. Obama because principally, Mr. Obama's mistakes work in our favor. But still, we do not want to see a president of a country like the United States of America to make blunders of the sort, to make mistakes of the sort."
Ahmadinejad, Time reports, also said that "if I were (President) Obama's adviser, I would definitely advise him to refrain making this statement because it is definitely a mistake."
