Iranian media are quoting the country's vice president as saying Iranians are "friends of all people in the world — even Israelis."
Wait a minute, something doesn't smell right.
It is a rare comment from a government official in Iran, whose president regularly calls for Israel's destruction.
Several newspapers and the official Web site of Iran's tourism agency on Monday attributed the comment to Vice President Esfandiar Rahim Mashai, who is in charge of Iranian tourism and historical sites.
It is believed to be the first time an official Iranian government Web site has carried an expression of sympathy by an Iranian vice president toward Israelis.
Mashai stressed, however, that his comments did not constitute recognition of Israel's legitimacy.
There we go. It's Iran's way of saying "hey guys, don't think bad of us. We're friendly to you!" All the while, they are funding Hezbollah militants who make regular attacks against innocent Israeli civilians.
Israel's recent war games has shown Iran that they mean business, and this comment is simply a way to help diffuse Israel, all the while, they are enriching uranium as fast as they can.
