Kharrazi rejects Bush's "arrogant statements" on Iran
(REPETITION: To add more quotes, background)
Tehran, Jan 30, IRNA -- Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi here Wednesday
denounced as "arrogant" statements made by U.S. President George W. Bush
accusing Tehran of attempting to develop weapons of mass destruction.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran considers these remarks as interference in its
internal affairs," Kharrazi said, adding they are intended to divert public
opinion from heightened atrocities being committed by the racist Israeli regime
against innocent Palestinians in occupied lands.
"Bush is intending to divert public opinion from the Middle East issues by
raising up a new subject and thereby pave the ground for the U.S. to continue
support for Israel in suppressing the Palestinian nation," he said in an
interview with IRNA.
Bush, in his first televised State of the Union address from the House of
Representatives chamber on Wednesday, used aggressive language against Iran,
accusing the country, along with Iraq and North Korea, of attempting to develop
weapons of mass destruction.
"With these arrogant statements, the American government has further
unveiled its true image as a hegemonic power that wants to dominate the whole
world through force," Kharrazi said.
"We, besides rejecting American accusations, believe that the world will not
tolerate U.S. hegemonic ambitions and believe Mr. Bush would do better by
presenting proof of his accusation," the Iranian foreign minister said, adding
that "repeated accusations will not help him."
Iran has persistently denied that it is producing weapons of mass
destruction and, to prove its point, has opened up its nuclear facilities now
under construction in southern Bushehr to IAEA inspection.
