Iran president: Britain should cut ties to U.S. [View All]

[ECH1969]

Britain's close alliance with the United States is damaging its standing in the Muslim world, Iran's president said in an interview published Saturday.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged Britons to evict Prime Minister Tony Blair's government from office, saying Blair's support for Washington's foreign policy could force Britain into future Mideast conflicts, the Guardian newspaper reported.

Ahmadinejad said the era in which the United States and a handful of other countries dominated world affairs is drawing to a close and insisted those trying to stop Iran from developing its nuclear capability will not succeed.

"This arrogance will not last forever. Soon you will see the great powers kicked out of their throne."
