Tehran, Oct. 29 Irans Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki strongly defended on Saturday President Mahmoud Ahmadinejads blistering attack on Israel and the West, saying that the Presidents speech was nothing but the strategy and policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the past 27 years.
Mottaki made these remarks in an interview with Irans state-run television.
The Iranian foreign minister, himself a hard-liner, accused the United States and Britain of creating a commotion over Ahmadinejads speech as a way of letting Israel escape the consequences of two disarmament resolutions adopted recently by the United Nations.
The main reason why America and Britain are causing this uproar is that the UN adopted two resolutions against the nuclear activities of the usurper Zionist regime, Mottaki said, adding that Israel completely ignored UN General Assembly resolutions.
Since the early years of the victory of the Islamic revolution in Iran, we are witnessing a spontaneous movement in Islamic nations in defence of the oppressed people of Palestine, Mottaki said.
Mottaki was Irans ambassador to Turkey in the 1980s, but the Turkish authorities ordered him to leave Turkey in October 1989 for his role in a series of assassinations and kidnappings targeting Iranian dissidents.
