Iran FM: Obamas statements on Iran unrealistic
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said here on Thursday that the statements of a U.S. presidential candidate who said Irans nuclear activities were threatening were unrealistic.This evaluation is completely one-sided, unrealistic, unacceptable, and clearly in contrary to the realities of Irans peaceful nuclear activities, Hosseini said in a statement. In a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) 2008 Policy Conference on Wednesday, Barak Obama said there was no greater threat to Israel than Iran. He also accused Iran of supporting violent extremists and pursuing a nuclear capability that could spark a dangerous arms race. I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Everything, Obama declared. Hosseini expressed regret over such opportunistic an approach, and said Obamas statements were delusional and influenced by the Zionists. This candidates stances are in contrast to his previous claims that he opposed lobbyism in the United States, he noted. Posted by: Pappy 2008-06-08 |
