Tehran, 29 Oct. (AKI) - Iranian hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accused the United States of putting 'false' or worthless dollars into circulation. The US "flooded the world with false dollars. Dollars that no longer have a value, due to the US government's deficit of 10,570 billion dollars," said Ahmadinejad who is on a trip to the western Iranian region of Lorestan.

Ahmadinejad also described the West as the origin of all humanity's woes.


"The current (economic) crisis is the result of the West, which has turned away from God, instead taking the road of sin," said Ahmadinejad.

"To overcome this crisis, you do not have another way out, but to rethink your path," he said.

Ahmadinejad also said that Americans had exploited other populations so much that it had left their countries and economies exposed to the global downturn.
