Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has addressed the UN General Assembly saying that some "bullying" powers were trying to thwart Iran's peaceful nuclear ambitions.
He told world leaders that Tehran would resist and defend its right to nuclear power. Despite three rounds of UN Security Council sanctions, Iran continues to defy calls by the United States and its Western allies to halt its uranium enrichment activities. Earlier US President George W. Bush accused Iran and Syria of continuing to sponsor terrorism. In his farewell address to the General Assembly Bush focussed on the war on terror and warned that the UN was needed more urgently than ever to fight extremism.
