Majlis May Consider Cutting Off Iran-Britain Friendship Committee
Speaking to reporters, Akbar Alami said the committee was formed in line with Iran's policy of detente with the aim of improving ties between Tehran and London.
Although, the negative ramifications of British colonial policies are still fresh in minds of the Iranians, the committee set to pursue a constructive dialogue to erase such memories.
If Blair continues his vengeful, and interventionist policies towards Iran which only emanates from his domestic troubles, then the purpose of the parliamentary committee becomes mute and the Majlis will consider suspending its activities.
He also called on other deputies in the Majlis and their counterparts in the British parliament to opt for prudent and constructive policies in reforming Blair policies and his support of the dangerous policies pursued by the US president George W. Bush.
Iran's Foreign Ministry on Saturday summoned the British Ambassador to Tehran Richard Dalton to formally object to the recent remarks by British Prime Minister Tony Blair on the Islamic Republic.
Director General of the West European Affairs of the Foreign Ministry Ebrahim Rahimpour said Tehran has voiced its objections to Blair's outrageous statements on Iran.
In his Thursday remarks, Blair had said the military action against Iraq would produce positive results and, for instance, would push the Islamic Republic to more effectively cooperate with the international community.
Rahimpour termed as 'irrational' Blair's claims saying these statements clearly show that British premier has tried to find a way out of the domestic problems and to avoid questions by the British public.
Dalton said Blair may have not had any intention to outrage Iran while reiterating that London's policy toward Tehran has not changed.
