This article talks about how the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently (May 3) spoke at the UN conference for the Non Nuclear Poliferation treaty. He said western countries shouldn't keep their weapons while not allowing other countries to get them. He has been talking to non permanent members of the UN Security Council trying to convince them to oppose sanctions against Iran and offering oil deals to various countries. The picture is of when Ahmadinejad visitted Zimbabwe to talk with their president Robert Mugabe. This article is important because it talks about International relationships and supernational organizations like the UN. Western foreign policy is also discussed. Economic sanctions and Iran not wanting their economy to get any worse are all big factors. Grade this post.
