Tehran : Iran has ruled out that the visit by US President George W. Bush to the Middle East beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, will isolate Tehran from the regional context.
The president of Iran’s Majles (unicameral Islamic Consultative Assembly), Gholamali Haddad Adel, asserted that the Islamic Republic’s influence is not its wealth, power or politics, but prestige earned by demanding its rights to justice and honesty.
By no means will the Persian nation be isolated due to Washington’s actions, if Bush comes to cause problems, as seems to be announced by the media, he said.
The US president will start a tour of the Middle East that includes Israel, the West Bank, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain.
Regional media denounced that the White House tenant’s visit is to support Tel Aviv and seek Arab support for its military policy against Iran.
The US president’s visit to the Levant will fail in the long run, “or while Washington keeps supporting the crimes of the Zionist regime,” Haddad Abdel told press.
The Iranian legislative president referred to the contradictions between what the US government says and what it does, because it expresses the wish to normalize relations, but does not cease showing hostility toward the Persian people.
