Why wouldn't they feel cocky and confident? They just gained a huge Shiite dominate ally just to their west...
“In an unyielding address before the United Nations General Assembly on Saturday afternoon, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran rebuffed attempts to rein in his country's nuclear program, railing against the United States as an aggressor and restating a compromise proposal that had already been rejected.
Mr. Ahmadinejad repeatedly stressed that Iran would not relinquish its "right to pursue peaceful nuclear energy" and accused the United States of bullying others and attempting to divide the world into "light and dark countries," repeatedly clenching his fist and jabbing his finger in the air for emphasis”.
"Every day they are threatening other nations with nuclear weapons, and they are never inspected," he said. He added that Western countries were "relying on their power and wealth to try to impose a climate of intimidation and injustice over the world," even while portraying themselves as defenders of freedom, democracy and human rights.”
"Mr. Ahmadinejad’s remarks during a visit to Turkey on Thursday caught Washington's attention. There he suggested Iran might share its nuclear technology with other Muslim nations.
Mr. Ahmadinejad said, "Iran is ready to transfer nuclear know-how to the Islamic countries due to their need." On Saturday, he asserted that "the quote was incomplete," but did not explain further".
