Iran not seeking Israel off map Press
TV Iranian adviser to the judiciary Mohammad Javad Larijani has denied Tehran is promoting the policy of wiping Israel off the map. He blamed a deliberate distortion by the Western media and said, "Let
me tell you one thing about taking Israel off the map. It was a by-product
of the Western media," Larijani told participants at the World Economic
Forum on the shores of the Dead Sea in "Our president never talked about this issue," he said of comments attributed to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Larijani said the position of Iran's leader was that "We cannot tolerate a state in which racism is practiced daily," in reference to Israel's treatment of Palestinians and its Arab citizens.
Similarly, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said in this regard during a G8 summit in Jordan, “One cannot wipe a country off the map," "Every schoolboy knows you can't just erase a state from the face of the map, that is very clear," Mottaki said. Ahmadinejad's Persian statement was mistranslated and its meaning distorted. ---------------------------------------------------
