Biden Says US Won't Stand in Israel's Way on Iran, Tehran Warns


Al-Manar

"06/07/2009 US Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview broadcast Sunday that the United States would not stand in the way of Israel in its dealings with Iran's nuclear program.
"Israel can determine for itself -- it's a sovereign nation -- what's in their interest and what they decide to do relative to Iran and anyone else," Biden told ABC television's "This Week." "Whether we agree or not. They're entitled to do that... We cannot dictate to another sovereign nation what they can and cannot do when they make a determination, if they make a determination, that they're existentially threatened.".....

Meanwhile, a senior Iranian official, reacting to Biden’s comments, on Monday said his country would respond "in a very full-scale and very decisive way" if it were attacked by Israel......"That kind of erroneous judgment poses a threat to the entire Middle Eastern region and the world." He added: "If (an Israeli attack) occurred, then the Islamic Republic of Iran will respond in a very full-scale and very decisive way.""
