| Ahmadinejad: Iran will not launch an attack on Israel |
| 2007-09-25 |
| Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Monday that Iran would not launch an attack on Israel or any other country, and he does not believe the United States is preparing for war against Iran. "Iran will not attack any country," Ahmadinejad told The Associated Press. Iran has always maintained a defensive policy, not an offensive one, and has "never sought to expand its territory," he said. Asked whether he believed the US is preparing for war, he responded: "That is not how I see it ... I believe that some of the talk in this regard arises first of all from anger. Secondly, it serves the electoral purposes domestically in this country. Third, it serves as a cover for policy failures over Iraq." Seated in a hotel room near the United Nations, Ahmadinejad projected a soothing face during the 30-minute interview with the AP. He said that Iran's foreign policy is based on humanitarian concerns and on seeking justice. |

| #1 Surrrre! Although the 600 missile ready launch toward Israel and the Iraqi coalition has been over exaggerated by some in the intelligence agencies, and Jane's, I would imagine that Iran would lob everything they could, like Saddam tried to do in the 'Mother Of All Battles', atleast until their territory becomes a no fly zone, with the US, France, Britain and others 'of the willing' firing on anything flying more than 10 feet off the ground! |
