Ahmadinejad Writes Threatening Letter To Sarkozy
Someone’s worried after the IAEA report…
TEHRAN, Nov 17 (AFP) Nov 17, 2007
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has sent a letter to his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy following recent French criticism of Tehran’s nuclear drive, a senior official said on Saturday.
“President Ahmadinejad’s letter to President Nicolas Sarkozy concerns the current relations between Iran and France and their prospect,” the state IRNA news agency quoted Mojtaba Samareh Hashemi as saying.
France’s Le Monde newspaper, citing diplomatic sources, said the letter had a “nasty and acrimonious” tone and contained “veiled threats”.
But Hashemi, a top presidential advisor, said Tehran took exception to what he described as “distorted” reports about the content of the letter.
“Most of the information published about this letter has been distorted,” he said.
Ahmadinejad had offered to give advice to the French president whom he branded as a “young and inexperienced” leader, the report said.
“Ahmadinejad has hinted that France and Iran have ‘historic ties’ and ‘common interests’, most notably in Lebanon, which would be a pity to reduce to nothing,” the French daily added.
Since Sarkozy’s election, France has adopted a tougher line with Iran over its nuclear programme, which is feared by the West to cover an atomic weapons drive — charges that Tehran vehemently denies.
Tehran has also been concerned about France’s rapprochement with the United States, whish is leading international efforts to thwart Iran’s atomic programme.
Since his June 2005 election, Ahmadinejad has written a succession of letters explaining his world view to world leaders including US President George W. Bush, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Pope Benedict XVI.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
seems, this is nowadays Iran habits : writing letters, kind of new “political litterature”
Mr Bush has a few exemples of “A the twit”’s letters, I was told
I suppose it is a response to Sarkozy after he wrote a letter to his EU collegues to emphasize the pression on Iran… well who cares ?
a new diversion in their program

Darn good work you’re doing!

November 17th, 2007 at 4:07 pmAny enemy of Ahmedisajackoff is a friend of the US. The Sarkman continues to be impressive.
That almost looks like the Kucinich w/UFO picture …
Ironic?
Maybe … Maybe not.
Both need “probing” and then zapping.
