Larijani: Obama's reaction to President's remarks, disgraceful
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Sept 28, IRNA -- Speaker of the Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Ali Larijani said Tuesday that the US president's reaction to his Iranian counterpart's statements in the UN General Assembly was 'shocking' and 'disgraceful.'
Larijani made the remarks in his address to the Majlis opening session today (Tuesday).
'It is surprising how a country which claims to rule the world has failed to hear the voice of the Iranian nation's hatred,' Larijani said.
He was commenting on the latest remarks made by President Barack Obama regarding what President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had said in his speech at the UN General Assembly on September 23.
The Iranian President suggested a fact-finding committee to be formed for inquiring into the 9/11 event before it changes to a mysterious story similar to the Holocaust.
'It is a disgraceful act that the White House officials rushed to contact with the BBC Persian instructing them to prepare a program' for the US president to answer to his Iranian counterpart, Larijani said.
He stressed that the Iranian nation stayed united against the US plots both in the issue of Iran's peaceful nuclear activities and in other anti-Iran conspiracies made by the US in the region.
