Given their failed efforts to sabotage the Tehran summit, "they now intend to trouble Iran's management over the NAM," Senior Advisor of the Iranian Supreme Leader for International Affairs Ali Akbar Velayati told .
"They will not succeed this time, either," Velayati stated.
The 16th heads-of-state summit of the NAM officially wrapped up work in Tehran on Friday night after issuing a final statement.
During the two-day meeting presided by President Ahmadinejad a number of 63 leaders of the NAM member states conveyed their opinions to their counterparts in the largest international grouping after the UN.
The summit was inaugurated with a keynote speech by Ayatollah Khamenei, in which he praised the founders of the NAM and its operation in the last 60 years, but said the movement should boost its international role and clout through increased operations and fresh movements.
The leader said the world is entering a new era and the NAM should play a bigger role in this new world, adding that all world countries should have a share in global management.
"States should raise their relations on the basis of common interests and not threat and intimidation," he stressed.
The Leader said the world should not be ruled by a few number of "bullying powers".
He said the "UN Security Council has a completely unfair structure, and the US and its allies have been misusing this unfair structure to materialize their interests".
The United States and Israel are among the nations fearful that the summit drawing a reported 50 or more heads of state and government will give Tehran a boost in legitimacy and rally disgruntled states to its defense of its nuclear programs.
The Islamic Republic's three-year tenure as head of the NAM is a chance for Tehran to elevate its international standing as the United States seeks to cripple its economy and isolate it diplomatically over its disputed nuclear program.
Many analysts say that the diplomatic spotlight will give Tehran an opportunity to show Washington has failed to cut it off from the rest of the world.
