Ahmadinejad Gives Middle Finger To The World, Says Israel Is "Doomed"

Last week, the U.N. enacted the tiniest of sanctions on our favorite Middle Eastern dictatorship, by restricting international business conducted by Iran's Revolutionary Guards and prohibiting the country from selling certain weapons. It was mostly a perfunctory gesture to show that the U.N. isn't, you know, sleeping when it comes to the Iran problem.

Unsurprisingly, Iran is aware of just how tooth-less the sanctions actually are, with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calling them "worthless paper" during this week's World Expo in Shanghai. Ahmadinejad also seized the opportunity to tell the world that Israel was "doomed" because of the United States' ties to the Jewish State, and that country's possession of nuclear weapons. AFP:

It is clear the United States is not against nuclear bombs because they have a Zionist regime with nuclear bombs in the region...They are trying to save the Zionist regime, but the Zionist regime will not survive. It is doomed.

This isn't anything out of the ordinary, but still shouldn't fall under the radar.
