IRAN TELLS UN IT OPPOSES US STRIKES ON IRAQ
Today, Iran is calling for respect for Iraq's territorial integrity and letting the United Nations take the lead in resolving the current crisis over weapons inspections. In remarks to the General Assembly, Iranian foreign minister Kharrazi, speaking through an interpreter, also made clear Teheran opposes U.S. threats to oust Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
"We are against any unilateral measure or military intervention in Iraq, underline the central role of the United Nations in this regard, and hold that it is up to the people of Iraq to determine their own future through democratic means," he said. VOA
