TEHRAN (Reuters) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned major world powers on Wednesday that they could not deprive Iran of its right to nuclear technology by issuing U.N. resolutions.

Speaking at a news conference, Ahmadinejad added that Iran, which says its atomic aims are entirely peaceful, could retaliate over sanctions imposed on Iranian banks abroad by the U.N. Security Council.

"If they want to create disturbances ... for parts of our economy, (like) banks, we will retaliate there or in other places," he said.
