Obama has little choice but to go after earnest development in the US foreign policy
B&E: The media is abuzz with speculation about the possible opening of a United States interests section in Tehran. If the US makes a formal request, will Iran agree?
MM: I think the realising of the word “if” in the US takes considerable time. In the last few months, we have been asked this question of “if America raises such a request” many times; yet, we are still not faced with such a request. Till now, these things have come up through mass media and that is why you have received mass-media type answers. Let’s be patient. We’ll surely respond if we receive any such request.
B&E: Seymour Hersh argues that there has been a shift in the American position vis-à-vis an attack on Iran? What’re your comments on that?
MM: From the very commencement of this question historically, two options were on the table: an alternative based on cooperation, and an option based on altercation. We, at all times, prefer the choice based on cooperation. Time and again, we would listen from some part of the ruling party in the United States that they are bearing in mind the other option – that is confrontation, an assault or military strike on Iran. Maybe this has forever been in their minds, and is even now; but the problem is that they aren’t understanding what could happen. They cannot inflict on the taxpayers another conflict and that’s why we do not see any likelihood for a new conflict by the Americans in our region.
B&E: What do you think would the consequences be, if the United States did attack Iran?
MM: They know what will be the reaction. We have informed them.
