Ayatollah Khomeini's Grandson, Hasan Khomeini: Bush Administration the Worst Terorrist Government Worldwide, but Will Not Attack Iran

The following are excerpts from an interview with Hasan Khomeini, the grandson of the leader of the Islamic revolution in Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini. Al-Jazeera TV aired this interview with Arabic voiceover on February 6, 2005:

Hasan Khomeini: Naturally, any confrontation [with Iran] would entail a heavy price. But I am convinced that Israel will not carry out such a stupid action, because it knows very well that Iran would respond harshly. Our country's leaders do not hesitate to respond forcefully to Israel. In addition, I don't believe the American administration, which finds itself in difficult circumstances in Iraq, will allow itself to carry out such a stupid action either.

I believe that Mr. Bush's administration is the worst terrorist government in the world.
