Channel 4: Interview with President AhmadinejadIn an extended Channel 4 interview, President Ahmadinejad says Iran does not need a bomb and said his country had a role in future Iraqi security.
Mr Ahmadinejad said, "I should say this to the good British people... we want peace and friendship for all. We should help. This war should finish."
He also told the programme that "if the American government, and British government, corrects themselves, problems will be solved."
Mr Ahmadinejad also stated repeatedly that Iran does not want to develop a nuclear bomb, saying, "We do not need a bomb. We are against a bomb actually.
"There are many reasons that we're against it. In our belief we are against bombs [and] from a political point of view it is not useful."
And when questioned on the possibility of UN sanctions, Mr Ahmadinejad said, "From the beginning we said everything should be solved by the agency."
