No power can dare aggression against Iran: Ahmadinejad

8220;Our armed forces are ready to confront the forces of darkness. If anybody wants to shoot a bullet at us from anywhere,we will cut off his hands.8221;

Ahmadinejad,who was to head later today to New York to attend the UN General Assembly meeting,demanded that US-led foreign forces leave Iraq and Afghanistan.

8220;We advise you to go back to your own land. Our region will never accept a lengthy presence of foreigners,8221; the re-elected president,dressed in his trademark light-colour jacket and wearing sunglasses,said in a ceremony attended by top military and administrative officials.

8220;As you saw in Iraq and Afghanistan,people are against the presence of foreigners. It is impossible for foreign troops to have a stable base in the region.8221;

Ahmadinejad8217;s speech was followed by a military parade,an annual event marking the breakout of the war between Iran and Iraq which lasted almost a decade.
