France's Anger Provoked by Zionist Circles
June 22, 1999 - 0:0
French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine said Sunday the arrest of some spies in Iran was intolerable and that he had summoned Iran's ambassador to express France's anger. What nationality are the spies? Are they French citizens? Are they Israeli nationals? Or are they citizens of the United States? They are citizens of IRAN, and they have been charged with spying for some foreign countries including the Zionist regime.
Now who should deal with the case of the Iranian citizens spying for other countries? Who should safeguard Iran's security? France, Israel, or the U.S.? Of course it is the Iranian government that is responsible for preserving Iran's security. And as far as spying is concerned, it is a serious crime all over the world, and spies are subject to heavy punishment everywhere.
Therefore, it should be asked why such a hue and cry is raised by some countries over discovering a spy ring and arresting the spies by the Iranian government? There are two likely answers to the above question. The first is that the arrested spies served the countries which are now concerned about their fate. And the second is that the countries raising a hue and cry over the case are under the strong influence of the Zionist circles and are incited by them to accuse Iran of trampling on the rights of its Jewish minority only because the spies happen to be Jewish. But, whatever the answer is, such comments and statements are a flagrant interference in Iran's internal affairs.
Among such countries, France went to extremes by summoning Iran's ambassador "to express France's anger", which indicates that France, if not a receiver of secret information from the spies, is at least greatly influenced by the Zionist circles. The French Foreign Ministry has apparently forgotten that one of the basic principles in bilateral ties is nonintervention in the internal affairs of each other.
Therefore, it is the duty of Iran's Foreign Ministry to summon the French ambassador and make him realize that Iran by no means tolerates any interference in its internal affairs.
