Ahmadinejad challenges Bush to debate Tue Aug 29, 2006 4:42pm ET By Parisa Hafezi TEHRAN (Reuters) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday challenged President Bush to a televised debate and voiced defiance as a deadline neared for Iran to halt work the West fears is a step toward building nuclear bombs. "Peaceful nuclear energy is the right of the Iranian nation ... it wants to use it and no one can stop it," he told a news conference. The White House said Ahmadinejad's call for a presidential debate on global concerns was a "diversion". The U.N. Security Council has given Iran until Thursday to suspend uranium enrichment -- a process which can produce fuel for civilian reactors or explosive material for warheads -- and has threatened to consider sanctions if it does so. Iran has shown no sign it will halt uranium enrichment. The world's fourth largest oil exporter has shrugged off the threat of sanctions and said such a move would simply push oil prices up to intolerable levels for industrialized economies. Oil dipped below $70 a barrel on Tuesday, but worries about the nuclear standoff have curbed selling. Britain's Ambassador to the U.N., Emyr Jones Parry, said the 15 council member states would first need to assess a report to be delivered on Thursday on Iranian compliance from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog. "I would expect activities here to resume toward the middle of September," when governments would have "a clearer view of exactly how this should be carried forward," he told reporters.
