75 million is less population?
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inaugurated a new policy to encourage population growth, dismissing Iran's decades of internationally acclaimed family planning as ungodly and a Western import.
The plan is part of Ahmadinejad's stated commitment to further increase Iran's population, which is already estimated at 75 million. He has previously said the country could support up to 150 million.

Perhaps the main reason is that he wants the Shiite sect to increase in numbers.
Lol jack, that means family planning should be banned world wide :-)
