Iran dismisses being next target after US attack on Iraq
2002-09-13
Iran on Wednesday dismissed speculations that it will be next in line for US attack as the world holds its breath over a possible American military blitz on Iraq, IRNA said.
"Nope. Not us. We'll wait 'til they've killed all the Soddies before we get scared..."
"We currently do not see any special threat from any foreign power," government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh told Iranian and foreign mediapersons.
"Despite our previous rantings on the subject..."
Government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh told reporters that the Islamic Republic wished to show its "solidarity with the innocent victims of this appalling act."
"But we'll wait until it's occurred, okay?"
"We believe that the roots of terrorism must be eliminated without exception or discrimination," he added.
"Yep. We're right in the middle of it on top of it..."
Ramezanzadeh said Iran was still waiting for the US leadership — which has labelled Iran as part of an "axis of evil" — to take the initiative to improve relations.
Just sitting by the phone. Waiting.
