Defiant Ahmedinajad takes oath for 2nd term

Ai p, BBC Online, Tehran
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been sworn in for a second term as Iran's president yesterday after weeks of postelectionunrest.
In an address after the ceremony, he criticised foreign powers who have cast doubt on the validity of the election, saying Iran would resist them.
Opposition supporters protesting outside parliament were met by hundreds of riot police.
Germany, France, Britain and the US all said they would not be sending letters of congratulation to Ahmadinejad.
Ahmadinejad now has two weeks to form a government that must then be approved by parliament.
Taking his oath of office,
broadcast live on state TV, Ahmadinejad promised to "protect the official faith, the system of the Islamic revolution and the constitution".
The 52-year-old hardliner took the oath of office for another four years at a ceremony in parliament after his landslide election victory in June that triggered the worst turmoil in the Islamic republic's history. At least 30 people died during the street protests which followed the June 12 poll.
In a speech outlining his plans for the future, Ahmadinejad said he would continue to resist "oppressive powers," dismissing the US stance towards Iran and hailing his election as a sign of major change in Iran.
But prominent opposition leaders were absent from the
ceremony, and outside a force of about 1.000 riot police and Basij volunteer Islamic mili-tiamen used pepper gas on demons(ra(ors who claim his eleclion was rigged, witnesses said.
"The protesters were chanting anti-Ahmadinejad slogans. The police and the Basijis dispersed them. All the nearby shops are closed," a witness said.
Another group tried to demonstrate nearby but were also dispersed as protesters chanted "God is Great" and booed the security forces.
Yesterday’s ceremony was attended by about 240 of Iran's 290 MPs, but prominent opposition leaders including Ahmadinejad's main defeated challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi were absent, as was powerful cleric and former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
But despite the international outcry over the election and its brutal aftermath, a number of foreign diplomats were present, including envoys, f^o/n Britain, France a nd. Sweden, which currently holds the EU presidency.
Ahmadinejad now has a two-week deadline to form a new government that is likely to remain on a collision course with the West, particularly over Iran's controversial nuclear drive.
