New York, NY – In response to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speech at the UN, the Simon Wiesenthal Center releases the following statement:

“World leaders who thought that the Iranian regime would be moderating its hate of the United State’s Western values and Israel were sorely disappointed by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad diatribe at the UN today.  His delusional, conspiratorial mindset underscores how much more dangerous a world it will be if Iran actually succeeds in going nuclear.”
