Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad appears to be stirring up controversy yet again today as he warned the United States and other countries not to place tougher sanctions on Iran for it's nuclear ambitions. When President Ahmadinejad was asked about the possibility of tougher sanctions being placed on Iran he replied, "We prefer that they move in the spirit of cooperation. It won't put us in trouble. They themselves will get into trouble." Ahmadinejad's comments come just a day after United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Saudi Arabian officials expressed concern over Iran's nuclear program. Yesterday Clinton addressed Iranian officials admitting they have enriched uranium to a level of 20%, she said, "This has only deepened the international community's doubts about Iran's nuclear intentions, along with the Iranian government's own isolation." Ahmadinejad continues to make provoking comments that suggest Iran is developing its nuclear program for more than just civilian purposes, and I think it has become a legitimate cause for international concern.
