Iranian Diplomat in an Israeli Paper
By Micah Halpern

Friday August 8, 2008

I've Been Thinking:

The press attache from the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Majid Bashtestani, granted an interview to an Israeli Arabic paper published in Nazareth.
It was the first time ever that an Iranian official deigned to talk to any Israeli publication or media group.

The official warned Israel not to attack saying: "If Israel were to do something stupid - it will face a shocking response the likes of which it has never encountered before."

About Israel negotiating with Syria he said: "Syria has every right to regain its plundered land, the occupied Golan Heights, and therefore it has the right to negotiate and try to regain what belongs it."

And about nuclear technology he said: "Iran will never fully give up on its rights, which are set in international law, granting it the right to possess nuclear power for peaceful purposes."

While the fact that this interview even took place is significant, the interview itself was without significant insight.
