Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, with one eye on upcoming presidential elections in Iran, toned down his usually harsh speech towards the United States and said Iran is preparing a “new package that constitutes peace and justice.”
Observers speculated that Ahmadinejad has interpreted recent statements by President Barack Obama and European nations to mean that Western leaders are willing to make concessions in return for talks with Tehran on its nuclear program.
Ahmadinejad’s “nice talk” may be aimed at Iranian voters who will cast ballots in June, His main challenger, Mir-Hossein Moussavi, said that if elected, he would provide guarantees that Iran will not use its nuclear reactor to produce weapons.
One of Ahmadinejad’s most controversial statements was one in which he called for the state of Israel, referring to its government, to be “wiped off the map,” though the translation and interpretation of the comment is disputed.
He has also been condemned for describing the Holocaust as a myth, which has led to accusations of anti-semitism; the interpretation of this quote is also disputed.
In response to these criticisms, Ahmadinejad said “No, I am not against Jews, I respect them very much.” Ahmadinejad also clarified, “I’m not saying that [the Holocaust] didn’t happen at all. This is not the judgment that I’m passing here.”
