USA: NEW YORK: IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER CRITICISES THE US

Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi has criticised the United States for its stance on the Middle East peace process.
In a speech to the Asia Society in New York, Kharrazi said that U-S support for Israel over the Palestinian cause was jeopardizing relations with Iran.
He accused the U-S of speaking with "multiple voices" when it came to foreign policy.

This statement called for a "road map" to set out future relations between Washington and Iran.

Iran's opposition to the military action in Iraq may seem surprising, given the long enmity between the two countries, who fought an eight-year war.
Some of the most striking commentary on last week's military action came from Iran.
State-run Tehran Radio criticised the United States and Britain for taking military action without U-N approval for the bombing.
According to the Tehran Times, two stray missiles from the recent U-S -British attack on Iraq fell on the city of Khorramshahr in southern Iran.
The newspaper reported the United States had apologised for the incident.
Kharrazi was scheduled to meet with Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura and Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi during his three-day visit.

(10 Jan 2000) Natural Sound
Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi arrived to a warm official welcome in Britain on Monday but protesters denounced the first visit by an Iranian Cabinet official since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
Kharrazi headed from London's Heathrow Airport to meetings with British leaders, including Prime Minister Tony Blair, and members of the House of Commons.
Demonstrators demanding the release of 13 Iranian Jews - who were arrested on spying charges a year ago - staged a vigil outside Downing Street, where Kharrazi was meeting Blair.
Kamal Kharrazi's meeting with the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, underlined the importance the Labour Party government attaches to a policy of "engagement" with Iran.
The British government aims to encourage moderate elements in the state that was once a pariah throughout West.
Critics, including the United States, regard the overtures by Britain and other European Union nations as premature while Iran continues to denounce Israel, criticize the Middle East peace talks and support extremist groups.
There have already been some tensions during the visit.
Before leaving for Britain from Tehran Kharrazi said he would deliver a protest over an article in The Times of London that described the rule of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini as "in all significant aspects a disaster."
Britain's ambassador to Tehran, Nick Browne, already has expressed "regrets" for any offence.
Exiled members of Iranian opposition groups complained about the visit, which has also been heavily criticized by anti-Western groups in Iran.
Relations between Britain and Iran warmed after Iran ended support last September for a 1989 "fatwa," or religious edict, to kill British author Salman Rushdie.
Many Muslims found Rushdie's novel "The Satanic Verses" offensive and insulting to Islam.
Britain and Iran exchanged ambassadors in May for the first time since ending relations in 1979.
Kharrazi's visit comes less than a month before his country marks the anniversary of the Iranian revolution - traditionally celebrated during the first ten days of February.
It's a time when relatives of martyrs who lost their lives for the cause remember their loved ones.
In Iran, martyrdom is considered the ultimate sacrifice by fundamentalist Muslims.
But nearly two decades on, the ideals of the revolution are fast being forgotten by younger generations who seek more western lifestyles.

We will continue to offer our support until they can lower their security concerns."
8. Kharrazi leaving the palace
STORYLINE:
Iran has promised that it will do what it can to help curb violence in Iraq and cooperate more closely on security during an historic visit to Tehran by Iraq's visiting Shiite prime minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari.
Jaafari is in Iran to promote stronger ties between his US-allied government and Iran, which considers the United States its primary enemy.
On Sunday, he met outgoing Iranian President Mohammad Khatami and is expected to meet supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and went on to meet Mohsen Ahmadinejad, the hard-line president-elect, before he returns home later this week.
Ahmadinejad will replace the reformist Khatami early next month and pursue the same line of closer ties with Iraq's government, though he may put more pressure on the US to withdraw American forces from Iraq.
Jaafari's own ties with Iran are already strong. He spent more than two decades in exile there prior to Saddam's fall as a leader of the Islamic Dawa Party and remained there until 1990, organising cross-border attacks while studying Shiite theology in the city of Qom.
It seems likely the two nations - who fought a 1980-88 war that killed more than one (m) million people on both sides - will sign a security agreement.
Some Sunni Arab leaders, including the king of Jordan, have voiced fears over the emergence of a Shiite-led Iraqi government with close ties to Iran. They suggest it could lead to the creation of a "Shiite crescent" in the Gulf region which would, in turn, unsettle political and social balances.
Iran has in the meantime highlighted its own efforts against terrorism and al-Qaida militants on its soil and pointed out that many arrests have been made.
Iran's Intelligence Minister Ali Yunesi said on Saturday that Iranian authorities had detained and deported 2,000 to 3,000 al-Qaida members since late 2001.

(1 Oct 1997) English/Nat
Iran's foreign minister on Tuesday said his country was open to re-establishing relations with the U-S but must be assured that Washington is sincere.
In a rare speech by an Iranian official to an American audience, Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi criticised U-S sanctions that could punish three international companies that have signed a multi-billion dollars deal to develop an Iranian natural gas field.
Also in New York, Iranian protesters gathered outside the U-N headquarters to protest against the new government of Iran.
A large crowd of students, journalists and academicians were on hand to welcome Iran's Foreign Minister Dr. Kamal Kharrazi at New York's Columbia University on Tuesday.
They heard him urge Americans to rethink their attitude towards Iran.
Kharazzi said Iran's new government was open to re-establishing relations with the United States.
These relations broke down in 1979.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"American policy toward Iran has been one of active hostility. Although in the American academic circles and some of the think-tanks there has emerged a better understanding and realisation of Iran. The official policy reflects misjudgement and misunderstanding of the realities of our domestic and foreign policies as well as our culture and revolution. Therefore, the change of attitude and policy should come from the United States. The ball is in their court."
SUPER CAPTION: Dr. Kamal Kharrazi, Foreign Minister of Iran
Kharrazi criticised a U-S law that could punish three international companies that have signed a two (b) billion U-S dollars deal to develop an Iranian natural gas field.
SOUNDBITE:
"This was a wrong decision by the Congress here to impose sanctions on Iran and to decide to punish those countries who make agreements with Iran in terms of investments in Iranian oil industry and this is the start of this process and I believe there will be more companies and more countries to get involved in doing business and investing in Iranian petroleum industries."
SUPER CAPTION: Kamal Kharrazi, Foreign Minister of Iran
On the other side of New York, a small group of Iranian protesters shouted loudly to make their voices heard over the hub-bub of 1st Avenue in front of the United Nations.
They were condemning Iran's government as terrorists.
Elections last May brought to power moderate cleric Mohammad Khatami.
But the protesters argued that the president was just like the mullahs who preceded him.

does not mean that we are supporting Iraq but contrary to that

helpful toward that direction but I think that we have to

Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi, in Davos, Switzerland,
for the World Economic Summit, said the Iranian judiciary was
independent and the government could not interfere in the case.

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND 31/01
SOT The Iranian Foreign Minister, Kamal Kharrazi: "Naturally
each country has sovereignty over its territory and what happens
on that territory. The case that you mentioned, it is true,
there is such a case in the court. It takes a long time to be
concluded. It is at the preliminary state right now but the
judiciary department naturally in Iran is independent
department, independent power but it seems that we have to let
them to have their own process going on until they will
conlude."
SOT: Kharrazi: "Not supporting a military attack against Iraq
does not mean that we are supporting Iraq but contrary to that
we believe that Iraq has to comply with the resolutions of the
security council. But military attack on Iraq is not going to be
helpful toward that direction but I think that we have to
consolidate our efforts diplomatically... to come to some
conclusion. That certainly would be more effective than military
attack."

(29 Sep 1998) English/Nat
Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi has criticised the United States for its stance on the Middle East peace process.
In a speech to the Asia Society in New York, Kharrazi said that U-S support for Israel over the Palestinian cause was jeopardizing relations with Iran.
He accused the U-S of speaking with "multiple voices" when it came to foreign policy.
In his speech to the Asia Society, Kharrazi acknowledged a statement made by US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on June 17.
This statement called for a "road map" to set out future relations between Washington and Iran.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Indeed the real meaning and value of these new words becomes evident once they are corroborated by a change of American policy against Iran. This is particularly the case as the United States still speaks with multiple voices and hence a change of tone by itself does not connote a commitment for substantive policy revision."
SUPER CAPTION: Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi
Kharrazi cited numerous examples of U-S policy that stand in the way of good relations: U-S economic sanctions against Iran, opposition to a pipeline through Iran and the freezing of Iranian assets abroad.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"With same reasoning the United States continues its one sided support of Israel which in practice has encouraged Israel's expansionist policies against the rightful demands and will of the Palestinian, Muslims and peoples and governments of the region. The presentation of such unreasonable rationalizations for those policies keeps the Iranian people from gaining confidence in the future."
SUPER CAPTION: Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi
Kharrazi said that the Clinton administration's proposed road map to improve relations between the countries does not add up with present American policy.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
There is no ground for political negotiations while these policies continue. In line with underlying principles of our fore gin policy the approach of the Islamic Republic of Iran will be commensurate with the changes in U-S behaviour toward Iran."
SUPER CAPTION: Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi
A few months ago, U-S Iranian relations were warming but now it looks as though a resumption of diplomatic ties is much further of than Washington wanted.
