Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Iran FM: Iraq War Prevents U.S. Attack on Iran

HeadlineOct 04, 2007

Iran’s foreign minister has said he doesn’t think the U.S. will attack Iran because of the burden of the Iraq War. Manouchehr Mottaki spoke Wednesday at the United Nations.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki: “Our analysis is clear: U.S. is not in the position to impose another war in our region, against their taxpayers. Of course, at the same time, any country, based on its defense policies and doctrine, should be prepared. It is not for Iran; it is for other countries. We have informed two years ago the Americans that what will happen if they make such mad decision against our country, and they know very well.”
