Iranian president President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Thursday declared that the world would not stop Iran's atomic developments after France argued for further sanctions against Tehran. According to Reuters, French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner sent a letter to his European Union counterparts Wednesday urging wider financial sanctions against Iran, saying the UN's efforts to stop its nuclear ambitions could prove ineffective.
On Thursday, the official IRNA news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying: "I announce to the whole world that the Iranian nation has passed the difficult points and no power can stop this nation from making more and more achievements."
