Ahmadinejad: US 'orchestrated' 9/11 to help Israel

The Iranian president's remarks at the UN general assembly prompted a series of walk-outs led by US delegates

"[There is a theory that] some segments within the US government orchestrated the attack, to reverse de declining American economy and its grip on the Middle East, in order also to save the Zionist regime.

"The majority of the American people, as well as other nations and politicians, agree with this view.

"I would like here to propose that the year 2011 be proclaimed the year of nuclear disarmament and “nuclear energy for all, nuclear weapons for none.”

"It goes without saying that domineering methods in managing the world have failed. Not only has the era of slavery, colonialism and dominating the world passed, but the paths to reviving old empires are blocked, too.

We have announced that we stand ready for a serious and free debate with the American statesmen to express our transparent views on issues of importance to the world in this very venue.

"This regime, which enjoys the absolute support of some western countries, regularly threatens countries in the region and continues publicly announced assassination of Palestinian figures and others and those opposing this regime are pressured, labeled as terrorists and antisemites. All values, even the freedom of expression, in Europe and in the United States are being sacrificed at the altar of Zionism.

"Solutions are doomed to fail because the right of the Palestinian people is not taken into account.

"The United Nations is the key centre for coordinating the global management. Its structure needs to be reformed in a manner that all independent states and nations able to participate in the global governance actively and constructively. The veto privilege should be revoked and the general assembly should be the highest body, and the secretary-general should be the most independent official, and all this positions and activities should be taken with the approval of the general assembly, and should be directed towards promoting justice and eliminating discrimination."
