Ahmadinejad Cautions Obama to Avoid Extending Afghan War to Pakistan
TEHRAN, May 10 (FNA)- Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned his US counterpart against extending the war in Afghanistan to neighboring Pakistan, saying that Barack Obama could face a worse fate than that of Bush, if he commits the same mistake.
"If he (Obama) makes a wrong decision, he will suffer an even worse fate than that of Bush," Ahmadinejad said at a news conference in Istanbul on the sidelines of the Fourth UN Conference on the Least Developed Countries.
"I warn Mr. Obama to take a lesson from (former President George W.) Bush's fate and to stop expanding the war. The best option for him is to withdraw his forces from our region," Ahmadinejad said on Monday.
He went on to say that the US invaded the region after the 9/11 attacks under the pretext of the campaign against terrorism, but there has never been an independent investigation into the events.
The Iranian president also underlined the need to reform the UN structure, noting that the world nations have come to the conclusion that the UN must be reformed since the major powers currently control it.
