TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - In a first reaction to the re-election of the U.S. president, Iran called on George W. Bush to change his approach toward Iran in his second term so relations can improve between the long-time foes.
Bush considers Iran part of his "axis of evil," accuses it of sheltering al-Qaida terrorists and leads the charge that Tehran seeks nuclear weapons. But U.S. and Iranian interests have coincided in the past four years, too, and Bush has destroyed two of Iran's enemies: the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
Who leads America "is an internal matter of the U.S. and the American people," Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi told reporters Saturday.
"What is important to us is a change of behaviour. We hope there will be positive developments in this respect in Mr. Bush's second term," Kharrazi said at a joint press conference with his Chinese counterpart Li Zhaoxing.
The United States broke diplomatic relations with Iran after militant students seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in November 1979. They took its occupants hostage to protest America's refusal to hand over the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who had been toppled in an Islamic revolution, to Iran to stand trial.
Have a wonderful day!
How about Uranians changing THIER behaviour?
Hey Iran, kiss our ass!
Cute. Thanks for the laugh.
Let's change behavior...we haven't bombed them, let's change THAT and see what they say
Oh don't you worry, Kharrazi boy. There's going to be a big change in behavior, and it's going to come as a surprise. ......not exactly a pleasant one, but a surprise nonetheless.
For the mullahs, that is ;)
Bush To Iran: Your next a$$hole.
YOU'RE NEXT!!!
It'll come as a surpise, but will only register for a millisecond.
LOL!
Sitting there with his chicom counterpart. Another chinese proxy. They seem to be under every rock.
Dubya, Iran say "shape up" (snicker)
You're about > < that close to be getting your just rewards very soon!
Bush to Iran
"Kiss my re-elected behind!!"
Yes, and so many people are oblivious to the growing ChiCom threat. When i was in Vietnam this summer, several military officers were very leery of China and its actions in the the South China Sea.
Iran has voted late. Should we count it?
For Iran to be anything less than hostile towards the U.S., we would have to abandon all relations with Israel. That wont ever happen, so our relations with Iran will continue to be hostile. Don't expect any change in tenure between our countries.
Good Toon!
