IRAN READY TO WORK WITH U.S.
by The Anglo American | October 1, 2007 at 07:07 pm | 580 views | 5 comments
Iran is ready to help the US stabilize Iraq if Washington presents a timetable for a withdrawal of its troops, Tehran’s top security official said on Sunday.
The Financial Times interviewed Ali Larijani, the head of the Supreme National Security Council in Iran and answers directly to the Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
“If they [the Americans] have a clear definition of a timetable we’ll help them materialise it,” Mr Larijani said. “If the US is persisting with its mistakes, it shouldn’t ask for help from us.”
Mr. Larijani said he thought the US democrat party and the British were getting it right in Iraq. He added that he believed Iran was the only country in the region to have supported the Iraqi government and the democratic process and directed his criticism at other Arab governments for not helping Washington. But he warned against US or Israeli military intervention in Iran or attempts to stop his country's nuclear program.
Refusing to specify what Tehran’s retaliation might be, he warned that the US should attack Iran if it wished “to receive Israel on a wheelchair” and predicted that Washington would be “sticking its hand into a beehive”.
However Mr. Larijani did say that Iran was working IAEA and pledged to clear up suspicions concerning its nuclear intentions.

Thanks Tom Van B! In the big picture of things, true perspective can only be achieved through representation of balance.

That's good news. But I doubt it will make much difference with the US. However, hope reigns eternal!
It's good stuff.

i gotta wonder why stuff like this never makes it to the TV ?
on a related note:
1 Iran is probably the most democratic government in the region
2 Bush wants to promote democracy in the region
3 Bush wants to bomb Iran
anyone see a problem here ?
