We won't allow Washington to dominate Tehran: Khamenei

---

TEHRAN, Apr 21 (AFP): Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei said Wednesday that Tehran will not allow the United States (US) to dominate the Islamic republic, taking another swipe at US President Barack Obama's "nuclear threat."
"Nobody should dare to threaten humanity this way. We will not allow the US to impose its infernal domination on Iran again with these threats," Ayatollah Khamenei said, quoted by Fars news agency.
Khamenei, speaking to a group of nurses, aimed his fury at Obama and said the international community should react, referring to a new US nuclear policy which bars the use of nuclear weapons but singles out Iran and North Korea as 'exceptions'.
Obama's "nuclear threat marked a black spot in that government's record," said Iran's leader, whose country has interpreted the US policy as tantamount to a threat of nuclear attack.
Tehran and Washington have had no diplomatic relations since the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic revolution.
The animosity has grown over Tehran's defiant pursuit of a controversial nuclear programme which Washington suspects masks a weapons drive, an allegation denied by Iran.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad last week called for Washington's suspension from the International Atomic Energy Agency along with all other nations which possess nuclear arms.
