US President Barack Obama presented an updated nuclear strike policy on Monday designed to usher a world without nuclear weapons, but Iran has expressed distaste for the policy, calling it a “cowboy” policy by a newcomer (to politics).

“American materialist politicians, whenever they are beaten by logic, immediately resort to their weapons like cowboys,” exclaimed Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in front of thousands of Iranians, also aired over local television. “Mr. Obama, you are a newcomer. Wait until your sweat dries and get some experience. Be careful not to read just any paper put in front of you or repeat any statement recommended.”

Obama’s nuclear strategy limited the scenarios when the US will consider the use of nuclear weapons, with a governing rule that the country will not use nuclear weapons against a country that does not possess nuclear weapons in return. The new nuclear strategy, however, states that it considers the countries of Iran and North Korea as exceptions, because these two countries have not cooperated with other countries regarding the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons.

North Korea has been known to possess, develop and test nuclear weapons within the country, and the US believes that Iran is doing the same, although the latter is doing it under the guise of a peaceful program.

“(American officials) bigger than you, more bullying than you, couldn’t do a damn thing, let alone you,” continues Ahmadenijad.

US allies, however, have embraced Obama’s new nuclear strategy, saying that the revamped strategy is the first big step towards a nuclear-free world.

“President Obama made good on his pledge a year ago to reduce the role of nuclear weapons in U.S. security policies and set the world on a path to a nuclear-weapons-free world,” according to New Zealand Prime Minister John Key. “The review clearly states the long-term objective of U.S. policy is the complete elimination of nuclear weapons, and implements the first of the actions that will be needed to get there.”

New Zealand’s welcome of Obama’s nuclear strategy was mirrored by counterparts in Japan, South Korea, Britain, France and Russia, among others.
