Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday Israel could not do a “damn thing” to stop the Islamic state’s nuclear program, which the West suspects is a front to build bombs.
“The Zionist regime (Israel) and its (western) backers cannot do a damn thing to stop Iran’s nuclear work,” Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech in the central city of Isfahan.
Ahmadinejad rejected on Wednesday as “illegal” a UN nuclear watchdog resolution over the country’s disputed nuclear activities, state television reported.

“Under pressure of a few superficially powerful countries … the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) passed an illegal resolution against the Iranian nation,” Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech in the central city of Isfahan.
The IAEA passed a resolution on Friday censuring Iran for covertly constructing a second enrichment plant near the holy city of Qom, in addition to its IAEA-monitored one at Natanz, and demanding a construction halt.
