The Iranian president vowed to continue enriching uranium to the 20% purity level needed for medical research, regardless of the opinion of the international community. "If anybody seeks to create problems for Iran, our response will not be like before," Ahmadinejad said. "Something will be done in response that will make them regret it." His comments came a day after Hillary Clinton warned that Iran is heading toward a military dictatorship, notes the Wall Street Journal. She kept up her criticism today, presenting a list of actions that contradict the government's claim that its nuclear research is for peaceful purposes, the New York Times reports. “You have to ask yourself: why are they doing this?" Clinton said in Saudi Arabia. “The evidence doesn’t support that.” Read These Next Giuliani injured in high-speed highway crash. A game of doorbell ditch turns fatal for 11-year-old.
