OFFICIAL SPOKESMAN FOR THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT SAYS:
THE USE OF "BRUTE FORCE" IN IRAQ WILL BRING ABOUT
"ONLY MUCH MORE IMPUDENCE," NOTHING ELSE 

-"No state has the right to use force against others
for achieving its aim; if the United Nations does not
give permission, war has no legal basis. Therefore, we
are against war." 


TEHERAN, March 19, 2003. /RIA Novosti correspondent
Nikolai Terekhov/--The use of "brute force" in Iraq
will bring about "only much more impudence," nothing
more, the official spokesman for the Iranian
government, Abdollah Ramazanzade, told reporters,
commenting on the intentions of the United States to
start a military operation in the region. 

He underscored that in the 21st century mankind had to
resolve their differences through negotiations. "Iran
supports the coalition for peace in the region,"
stated the government spokesman. 

In the opinion of Abdollah Ramazanzade, "in the past
two decades the Middle East witnessed obvious
manifestations of political impudence, and this time
the region will not survive one more war." "Iran is
convinced that it is necessary to create conditions
for the Iraqi people so that they will be able to
determine their political regime and leadership
without any foreign or internal pressure," said the
official spokesman for the Iranian government. 

"The statements by the US President have no logic, and
I hope that the American leadership will heed to the
public opinion," said Ramazanzade. 

"No state has the right to use force against others
for achieving its aim; if the United Nations does not
give permission, war has no legal basis. Therefore, we
are against war," added the spokesman for the
government of the Islamic Republic.
