The Iranian leader issued stinging attacks on the United States and its allies without calling them by name, and delegations from several nations, including the U.S., walked out during the speech, partly in protest of Ahmadinejad’s past statements blasting Israel and denying the holocaust.

But he also has faced pressure from the West to come clean about Iran’s nuclear program. Moments before he spoke, foreign ministers of six global powers told reporters on the sidelines of the General Assembly that they are optimistic, and tougher sanctions against Iran are being considered if talks between the powers and Iran on the issue, set for Oct. 1, don't yield results

Ahmadinejad didn't address Iran's nuclear program directly in his speech, but he assailed what he called “despicable forms of intimidation and deceit in the name of freedom.”

“It is no longer possible to humiliate nations and impose double standards on the world community,” Ahmadinejad said, according to the English interpreter.

And he assailed Israel for what he said was a "barbaric" attack on the Gaza Strip last winter.

The adversarial stance was nothing new from Ahmadinejad, and Western diplomats immediately dismissed it as more of the same.
