US, British, Canadian, French and other officials walked out of a speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday. Ahmadinejad spoke at a United Nations conference in New York reviewing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
While world powers accused Iran of failing to comply with disclosure requirements of the treaty, Ahmadinejad used his speech to attack the United States for its past use of nuclear weapons and for threatening to use nukes again.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: “Considering any threat to use nuclear weapons or attack against peaceful nuclear facilities as a breach of international peace and security, and swift reaction from the United Nations through determination of all cooperation of NPT member states with the threatening aggressor state.”

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton later accused Iran of trying to divert attention from its own record and to attempt to evade accountability.

Hillary Clinton: “It has defied the UN Security Council and the IAEA and placed the future of the nonproliferation regime in jeopardy, and that is why it is facing increasing isolation and pressure from the international community. But Iran will not succeed in its efforts to divert and divide.”
