Tehran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday said his new government would be more decisive in its policies toward the West, official news agency IRNA reported.

"Without any doubt, in the new (presidential) term the government would have a more decisive and powerful approach towards the West," Ahmadinejad told a meeting of judiciary officials in Tehran.

The president, whose re-election is still not yet officially confirmed, did not give further details but observers believe that his remarks indicated even less willingness to compromise with the West on issues such Iran9s nuclear programmes and its Middle East policies.

Ahmadinejad once again decried US President Barack Obama and leaders of European countries for having "insulted" the Iranian nation with what he called interference in internal matters, the agency reported.

Obama and European states have urged the Iranian government to solve the post-election turmoil peacefully and avoid violence in suppressing protests against alleged election fraud.

"From now on we will push you to a court of justice in every international meeting," he said, without elaborating.

"This time the reply by the Iranian nation will be decisive and harsh and make you (West) regret and be ashamed," he said in an apparent reference to Western criticism of the election.

The president said "the destiny of (former US president George W) Bush is still fresh," adding that world powers should return to their own borders, stop interfering in other states and not damage their prestige imperialistic and arrogant rhetoric.

Iran plans to revise and possibly downgrade diplomatic relations with several European states, including Britain, France and Germany over their alleged interference in the June 12 election. (dpa)
