Sanctions won't stop Iran, says President

Tehran, Sep 22: Sanctions will not succeed in stopping Iran's nuclear progress, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said today, a day after major powers said they had ''serious and constructive'' talks about new UN punitive measures.

Ahmadinejad, speaking at an annual military parade, also reiterated a call on US and other foreign forces to leave Iraq, the official IRNA news agency said.

''Those who think, that by using such decayed tools as psychological warfare and economic sanctions, they can stop the Iranian nation's progress are making a mistake,'' Ahmadinejad said.
