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
Jordan.
"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.
