President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday said his new government would be more decisive in its policies toward the West.
“Without doubt in the new (presidential) term the government will have a more decisive and powerful approach towards the West,“ he told a meeting of judiciary officials in Tehran.
Ahmadinejad said that the June 12 presidential election in Iran which has strengthened his government also marked the end of liberal democracy and liberal thought.
Addressing a national gathering of judicial officials he said, “The Iranian nation favors dialogue and wisdom as well as constructive and cultural interaction,“ IRNA reported.
Referring to the recent interference in Iran’s internal affairs and insulting comments by certain western states abut Iran’s handling of protests after the presidential elections, Ahmadinejad said, “From now on we will take you to trial at every international forum.“
“How is it possible that those who have blood on their hands are now talking about human rights and believe that they can harm the Islamic system with their hollow and satanic statements and their propaganda stunts against Iran’s clean and humane system?“
He made the remarks following comments by President Barack Obama about the violence in Iran following the disputed presidential elections.
Obama on Friday said that the way that Tehran has dealt with those involved in recent riots in the country was “outrageous.“
“There is no doubt that any direct dialogue or diplomacy with Iran is going to be affected by the events of the last several weeks,“ Obama said after talks at the White House with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, AFP reported.
“I think we’re going to have to see how that plays itself out in the days and weeks ahead,“ said Obama.

Nuclear Dialogue Unaffected
He, however, added that the talks with the G5+1 over Iran’s nuclear program would likely continue.
Stressing that Iran’s electoral system is one of the most popular, safest and cleanest in the world, the president termed the remarks by Obama as “being impolite and far from acceptable international norms.“
The president advised western states to stop addressing the Iranian people with impolite literature and “correct their behavior.“
Ahmadinejad garnered 24.5 million or 62.6% of the 39.16 million votes cast in the June 12 vote. His main rival Mir Hossein Mousavi won nearly 33 percent with 13.2 million votes. The two other candidates -- Mohsen Rezaei and Mehdi Karroubi--took 1.7 and 0.85 percent respectively. Mousavi a former premier and Karroubi a two-time former Majlis speaker rejected the vote and as a fraud and have demanded new elections
