Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, says “great” nuclear achievements will be announced in the next few days.<\/p>\n

He did not give any details, but insisted that Iran would never halt its programme to enrich uranium, which can be used to make a nuclear warhead.<\/p>\n

Mr Ahmadinejad was speaking at a rally in Tehran as Iranians marked the 33rd anniversary of the Islamic revolution.<\/p>\n

He also promised that Iran would never yield to the West if it continued to use “the language of force and insult”.<\/p>\n

Last week, President Barack Obama said the United States would work in “lockstep” with Israel to prevent Iran developing nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

He said Israel’s government was “rightly” very concerned about Iran’s nuclear programme but added that he did not believe it had decided whether to launch a military strike.<\/p>\n

Tehran insists its programme is entirely peaceful.<\/p>\n

In a speech broadcast on state television, Mr Ahmadinejad told a large crowd in Tehran’s Azadi Square that “all needs of the Iranian nation” would be met by its nuclear scientists in the near future.<\/span><\/h1>\n

“God willing, the world will witness the inauguration of great achievements in the nuclear sphere in a few days,” he added.<\/p>\n

The president said Western powers were using the nuclear issue as a “pretext” to work “against the development of the Iranian nation”.<\/p>\n

“They say that they want to talk to us. We have always been ready for talks. Well, they should be within the framework of justice and respect.”<\/p>\n

“I clearly declare that if you (the West) use the language of force and insult, the Iranian nation will never yield to you,” he said.<\/p>\n

The BBC’s Iran correspondent James Reynolds says the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution gave the president the chance to give a friendly crowd a bit of rousing at a relatively tough time, with the country hit by new sanctions and the economy struggling.<\/p>\n

Demonstrators carrying Iranian flags and pictures of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, chanted “Death to Israel” and “Death to America”.<\/p>\n

Talks between Iran and six world powers – the US, UK, France, Germany, Russia and China – on the nuclear programme collapsed a year ago and show little sign of resuming, despite recent efforts to restart them by Turkey.<\/p>\n

Iran refuses to negotiate over its uranium enrichment programme, but Western countries say there is no point in talking unless it is on the agenda.<\/p>\n

In November, the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it had information suggesting Iran had carried out tests “relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device”.<\/p>\n

Since then, European Union member states have increased the economic pressure on Tehran by approving a ban on imports of Iranian crude oil.<\/p>\n

The US does not buy Iranian oil, but it has placed sanctions on Iran’s banks to make it harder for the country to sell crude.<\/p>\n
