Rice remarks show US anger, weakness: says Asefi

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Feb 18, IRNA -- Iran`s Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza 
Asefi here Friday described recent anti-Iran remarks by US Secretary 
of State Condoleezza Rice as the result of US anger and its weakness 
in imposing its policies against Iran. 
Asefi told IRNA that the "baseless and repetitive" remarks by US 
secretary of state indicate the disappointment of US officials in 
creating a gap between the Iranian nation and the government. 
"Iranians` recent nationwide rallies have made US officials angry 
more than ever," he stated. 
Asefi said Iran is strongly against terrorism, adding that the US 
must stop supporting Israel to show that its campaign against 
terrorism is real. 
"If the US is really not pursuing demagogy and believes in what it
says about terrorism, it must stop supporting Israel which is the 
epitome of state terrorism," he said. 
The US, Asefi added, must avoid self-centerdness and respect the 
world public opinion. 
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman further stressed that 
repeating baseless remarks by US officials against Iran will undermine
their credibility before the international community even more.
