Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad warned the Obama administration today that if Iran’s nuclear facilities are attacked, the U.S. will face a war that “would know no boundaries.”
The Iranian president, who is in New York for the annual meetings of the United Nations General Assembly, spoke at a breakfast meeting with reporters and editors at Manhattan’s Warwick Hotel.
He said that Iran is on the brink of becoming a nuclear power, and warned Israel and the U.S. against attacking its nuclear facilities.
Asked about the possibility of a U.S.-supported Israeli air strike against Iran, the fiery Iranian leader said an attack would be considered an act of war, and suggested the U.S. is unprepared for the consequences. Such a war “would know no boundaries,” Ahmedinejad said. “War is not just bombs.”
Iran claims it has no plans to make a nuclear weapon, but the country is faced with United Nations sanctions, spearheaded by the U.S., meant to convince Iran to comply with international regulations and abandon its nuclear program.
In a wide-ranging question-and-answer session, Ahmedinejad said he was prepared to meet with the Obama administration, but that “the whole outlook has to shift.” Sanctions in particular, he said, had damaged the chances for an improvement in U.S.-Iranian relations.

This is not an idle threat.
Hilarious picture!
He sounds like Saddam Hussein!!!
Lol, what a big a mouth. Anyone remember Saddam Hussain ???…
nice picture of ahjimijad!
If he had the power to wipe the US off the map, it would’ve happened a long time ago. However it would be an error to take this threat lightly, for if this power does fall into his hands, the outcome will be disasterous.
CONFUSED!!
First it reads;
“He said that Iran is on the brink of becoming a nuclear power, and warned Israel and the U.S. against attacking its nuclear facilities.”
Then it reads;
“Iran claims it has no plans to make a nuclear weapon”
