Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has slammed the upcoming Mideast peace conference, saying he was "sorry" that some Arab leaders decided to attend the meeting.

Ahmadinejad says the conference has no benefit to the oppressed Palestinian people, and Iran won't represented in Annapolis.

He accused some Arab countries of giving concessions to Israel by joining the meeting, saying it signals a lack of political intelligence.

Iran has condemned the conference since its proposal by US President George W.Bush in July,saying it is doomed to fail.
