'Iran can withstand sanctions'
Iran can withstand sanctions and the pressure of the US and its allies over Tehran's nuclear program, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday ``Sanctions cannot stop the Iranian nation. The Iranian nation is able to withstand the pressure of the US and its allies,'' Ahmadinejad told a news conference.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday warned that the ``tough sanctions'' currently imposed on Iran might not be enough to prevent Tehran from obtaining a military nuclear capability.
