Iran\'s culture to dissolve powers

Iranians are not after weapons as they are men and women of \"logic\" and \"culture\" and would dissolve enemies by their culture and thoughts, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in response to the US and Israeli allegations about Iran\'s nuclear program.\"Iranians will dissolve you by their culture, thoughts and logic,\" Ahmadinejad said.He made the remarks at a ceremony to unveil a collection of 18 ancient Iranian artworks which were returned to the country by Britain where they had been smuggled and were to be put on auction. He said that the West and enemies of the Iranian nation who lack a rich and proper historical background are against any move to introduce the history and civilization of the great Iranian nation. \"They know when a nation loses its identity, it is easily influence by their plots,\" he added. Yet, Ahmadinejad underscored that the hegemonic powers are unable to undermine and destroy the Iranian nation\'s historical and civilization roots and origins. The art pieces were returned to the Iranian embassy in London after a ruling by the London Court of Appeal. The collection includes vases, chalices, bowls and dishes which were smuggled from Iran\'s ancient city of Jiroft during 2001-2004 to London. They were presented at an auction in London\'s Barakat Gallery.
