Iran Says Ready To Sign Non-Aggression Pact With Region
2006-04-12
Iran is ready to sign non-aggression pacts with countries in the region, the Islamic republic's defence minister was quoted as saying Tuesday. The comment came less than a week after military exercises were held to trumpet the Islamic republic's "homegrown" military achievements.

"Our exercises were welcomed by Muslims of the world, and they dismayed our enemies. Since (the exercises) were a message of peace and friendship, we are ready to sign non-aggression pacts with the regional countries," Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said. "Islamic Republic of Iran announces once again its readiness to hold a joint military exercise with regional countries," he was quoted as saying in Iranian dailies.

#7  Why don't they sign a pact stating that they are desperately wanting nuclear weapons and will use them to hold the world hostage.

Now that I would believe. That would be worth the ink it was written with. And you wouldn't have to worry about the breaking that one.

#6  Non-agression pacts among countries that are not noted for keeping their word. A novel idea. Ask Russia and Germany how their little pact worked out. Toilet paper is more valuable than these documents would be.

#2  With this, Iran is now trying to clear its flanks in anticipation of the battle of (their)armegggedon.
Seems obvious to me.

#1  Intersting how the offer of a non-aggression pact seems like an hostile move. What happens if you don't sign? Consider the source, I guess.
