Deputy FM: US threat against Iran not worth commenting on

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Kuala Lumpur, Jan 27, IRNA -- The recent US threats against Iran are 
not worth commenting on, said Iran`s Deputy Foreign Minister Gholam 
Ali Khoshru in Malaysia on Thursday. 
"The US uses rhetoric against Iran whenever it sees that Tehran is
becoming more powerful in the international scene and is improving its
relations with other countries," Khoshru told IRNA on the sidelines of
the ongoing meeting of scholars from the Organization the Islamic 
Conference (OIC) in Putrajaya, Malaysia. 
He argued that expansion of Tehran`s relations with Asian states, 
continuation of its talks with the Europeans and the International 
Atomic Energy Agency`s (IAEA) positive stand on Iran caused Washington
to feel internationally isolated and consequently, react by 
threatening Iran. 
Rejecting US unilateral policies, the deputy minister said, "All 
world countries oppose US unilateralism and instead, support 
multilateral policies under the supervision of the United Nations 
(UN)." 
Noting that US recent rhetoric were nothing new, Khoshru added 
that Iran would follow its policy of promoting ties with world 
countries and not be afraid of any threat of such kind since they are 
made due to Iran`s strengthening in the international stage.
