In his half-hour address late Tuesday, Ahmadinejad insisted that the June 12th elections were fair and that his government was legitimate.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, "In the recount of the votes, no fault was discovered. Those who had claims could not provide a single document as proof of fraud in the election."

He said the 85 percent voter turnout and his landslide victory according to official results had given his government a new legitimacy.

He also criticized his rivals and accused them of working with what he called "Iran's enemies."

Iran has repeatedly lashed out at the United States and President Barack Obama. It has accused him of interference and suggested that Washington's stance on Iran's post-election turmoil could imperil Obama's aim of improving relations.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, "Today our enemies express their need for the help of the Iranian nation and call for dialogue on the one hand. And on the other hand, they interfere in our internal affairs. This is a clear contradiction."

In his speech, Ahmadinejad also promised to accomplish "higher and grander things" during his second term saying that his government would focus on improving the economy.
