Tehran: There is no stopping of Iran's nuclear programme despite threats of UN sanctions, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told world powers on Tuesday.

"The great powers have tried to prevent our people from achieving their rights in nuclear material," he said, while Europe and the United States move to impose sanctions on Iran for its nuclear ambitions.

"Iran is completely mastering the nuclear fuel cycle and time is playing in favour of Iran," he said.

"This year I hope will be able to have the great celebration of the nuclearisation of Iran," he added, without elaborating.
