We haven't heard much from Iran's new [1] Thug-In-Chief since the London bombings. Here is an update: "Iran's New President Glorifies Martyrdom," from [2] MEMRI, with thanks to Ray:

The following are excerpts from a speech by Iranian President-Elect Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad, which aired July 25, 2005 on Iranian Channel 1. In it, he praises martyrdom operations and states that Islam will conquer the world. (To view this clip, visit [3] http://memritv.org/search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=782.)

Ahmadi-Nejad: [...] Is there art that is more beautiful, more divine, and more eternal than the art of martyrdom? A nation with martyrdom knows no captivity. Those who wish to undermine this principle undermine the foundations of our independence and national security. They undermine the foundation of our eternity.

"The message of the [Islamic] Revolution is global, and is not restricted to a specific place or time. It is a human message, and it will move forward.

"Have no doubt... Allah willing, Islam will conquer what? It will conquer all the mountain tops of the world."
