Iran expects free and open nuclear talks with West

In his address to the United Nations General Assembly, U.S. President Barack Obama spoke about the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea. Several countries, led by the U.S., are considering additional sanctions against Iran and North Korea if they dont curb their nuclear programs.
I will repeat that I am committed to diplomacy that opens a path to greater prosperity and a more secure peace for both nations if they live up to their obligations, Obama said. But if the governments of Iran and North Korea choose to ignore international standards, if they put the pursuit of nuclear weapons ahead of regional stabilityif they are oblivious to the dangers an escalating nuclear arms race in both East Asia and the Middle East, then they must be held accountable.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he expects next weeks discussions with the West about Irans nuclear program to be free and open, but called on the worlds nuclear powers to give up some of their weapons too.
Mansour Farhang is a professor of international relations at Bennington College and was revolutionary Irans first ambassador to the United Nations. He joins Daljit Dhaliwal to discuss how Ahmadinejads nuclear stance is influenced by domestic Iranian politics, Israel and other concerns.

This mother fu.cker Mansour Farhang is a former Jihadist terrorist with blood of thousands of Iranians in his hands. He is a disgraced Khomeini follower but Mullahs kicked his ass when they finished with him. He is now the tool in the hands of the western masters who overthrow the Shah & imposed the Mullahs in 1979. Americans deserve every bad luck for not only accomodating the Islamic thugs in suit like this scum bag but indeed giving them university post & public platforms too.

جناب فرهنگ، در "روی خط" صدای آمریکا در ۳ نوامبر گفتید در دوران گرگانگیری دولت آمریکا هیچ برخوردی قانونی‌ با دانشجویان ایرانی‌ نداشت. از انگشت نگاری اجباری ادارهٔ مهاجرت یادتان رفته؟ البته این حد اقل کاری بود که می‌توانستند بکنند و ایرادی هم نداشت، ولی‌ شما درست نگفتید!

An American-Israeli crime ring conspired to defraud United States tax authorities of tens of millions of dollars for at least five years, according to Israeli and American court documents filed Monday. The suspects filed thousands of fraudulent requests for tax refunds in the names of prisoners in federal penitentiaries, without the prisoners knowledge, according to an indictment field in Chicago. They then laundered the money through Israeli bank accounts, the authorities said.
