TEHRAN – Iran’s Intelligence Minister Ali Yunessi said Sunday that US President George W. Bush and his Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice should be put on trial in an international court for “crimes against the people”.
“Rice is a terrorist and a number of crimes were committed in Palestine and in Iraq with her support. Rice, Bush and their companions should be hauled before an international tribunal for their crimes against the people,” he told the student news agency ISNA.
Rice, he said, was a “queen of violence and war”.
On Friday Washington announced it would help the European Union put together incentives for Iran — aimed at securing a halt in its sensitive nuclear activities — by dropping objections to Iran joining the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and allowing it access to spare parts for its civilian aircraft.
But Yunessi said “the United States should apologise to Iran for having insulted it” with such an offer.
