Ahmadinejad: Iran won’t relinquish atom work

Iran will not back down on its nuclear program despite economic pressures and Western sanctions, said Tuesday Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a press conference in Tehran broadcast on television for State.

"If some think they can make pressure on Iran, they are wrong and must correct their attitude. We are not a people who will fall on the nuclear issue," he said. (Reuters)
