...exclusive interview with TIME magazine, the first one-on-one session given to a Western print publication since his election as president earlier this year, Ahmadinejad attacked the "threat" to bring the issue of Iran's nuclear activity to the UN Security Council by the US, France, Britain and Germany. He also implied that if the Security Council does eventually try to impose sanctions on Iran, his country would consider a variety of responses, possibly including use of the oil weapon, and denial of access to international nuclear inspectors...
