Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has reacted angrily to the US president over threats to take extreme measures against Iran and North Korea.

During a speech in Iran’s Western Azerbaijan Province on Wednesday, Ahmadinejad warned the President Barack Obama not to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor and not make the past mistakes.

The remarks came after the US unveiled limits on the nation’s nuclear arsenal on Tuesday, saying it would only use atomic weapons in “extreme circumstances” and would not attack non-nuclear states.

However, Obama warned exceptions could be made for “outliers” such as Iran and North Korea.

Ahmadinejad warned his US counterpart of a “tooth-breaking” response in case he resorted to military measures.

In the televised speech, Ahmadinejad said: “I hope these published comments are not true… he (Obama) has threatened with nuclear and chemical weapons those nations which do not submit to the greed of the United States.”

The Iranian president also called on foreign forces to withdraw from the region.

He said: “People will cut off the wrong hands if they do not stop their aggressive policies.”

Ahmadinejad also dismissed threats of military strikes by the occupying regime of Israel and urges Tel Aviv’s allies to cease support.
