Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today threatened to “severely punish” the United States for its role in attempting a “velvet coup” following the June 12, 2009 presidential elections.
“The new government will slam those bullying powers, which fanned the flames of Iran's post-election unrest. The West irresponsibly interfered in Iran's internal affairs in an attempt to implement a "velvet coup" against the country's religious system”, IRNA quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.
Representatives of U.S. President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy said respectively their leaders would not congratulate the Iranian president on his victory.
“No one is waiting for congratulatory messages from the Western leaders," Ahmadinejad responded to the explanations during his swearing-in ceremony for his second term as President.
