Asefi says Perle`s anti-Iran remarks show US anger, arrogance

IRNA

Tehran, Nov 19, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi 
said here on Wednesday that the anti-Iran remarks by Pentagon adviser 
Richard Perle in Berlin demonstrated the height of Washington`s anger 
and arrogance. 
Asefi said the US official has become confused and has made the 
remarks to express his personal feelings. He stressed that the 
remarks showed Perle`s unfamiliarity with Iranians. 
"What can be understood from the remarks is that the official is 
not familiar with Iran and Iranians, and we are really sorry for the 
American people that such `idle-talking` officials are ruling their 
country. 
"The most ancient nations enjoying the richest civilizations 
have always ignored such unimportant and idle-talking individuals," 
Asefi said. 
He added that the performance of the US administration has 
already become a source of contempt for the American people. 
"The American people should ask their incompetent officials why 
they are trying to cover up their humiliating setbacks in various 
corners of the world through wrath and insult?" he said. 
Asefi further stressed that Iran considers the US administration 
to be a source of evil and a symbol of terrorism, stressing that a 
close look at the "black record" of US support for Israel`s state 
terrorism and Washington`s performance as the "sponsor of terrorism" 
clearly prove this reality.
