On Wednesday Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated that U.S. should choose between Israel and Iran, Israeli Haaretz.com website reports, referring to IRNA news agency.

Speaking at the OIC session, Iranian President said that U.S. President Barack Obama should choose whether to support Iran or Israel. He said big decision should be made, underlining that Iran cannot clasp hands with U.S., as the latter meanwhile supports Israel.

According to the source, the President called Iran, Turkey and Asia cradles of civilization, saying that it is wrong to classify non-Western nations as “second class societies.”
