Tehran, Iran - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has warned the West to keep out of Iranian politics on Thursday and vowed his new government would be "10 times" stronger than the outgoing team, a television station reported.
State-controlled PressTV quoted Ahmadinejad as renewing his criticism of Western countries for their stance towards the disputed June 12 election in which he was re-elected for a second term.
The English-language station said he told a "huge" crowd in the northeastern city of Mashhad that some countries had set up satellite television channels in their efforts to spoil the election, which the opposition insists was rigged.

If any outside country tries to interfere in Iran, it will "slap the aggressor so hard they will lose their way back home," he told the crowd, PressTV reported.
Ahmadinejad said the new government would have "10 times" the power of the previous administration.
The government is to be unveiled next month, with the hardline president having pledged to change the structure of the cabinet by making "considerable changes" to his team.
