Iran files protest at UN over Hillary Clinton's 'obliterate' comment
TEHRAN: Iran has lodged a formal protest at the United
Nations about comments by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton that the United States
would "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacked Israel with nuclear weapons, the
state-run IRNA news agency reported Thursday.
Clinton made the comments in an interview on ABC last week. "I want the Iranians
to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran," she said when she was
asked what she would do if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons. "In the
next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on
Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them," she added.
Danesh-Yazdi wrote in the letter that Clinton's comments were "provocative, unwarranted and irresponsible" and "a flagrant violation" of the United Nations charter, IRNA reported.
Iran has no intention to attack any other nation,"
