Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi on Saturday recommended Europeans not to use the language of threat against Tehran as it would be of no use, but instead try to take the initiative of cooperation with the country.
According to IRNA, Asefi made the remarks in response to a recent comments attributed to French President Jacques Chirac by an Israeli newspaper. Haaretz newspaper had quoted Chirac as warning Tehran that EU would refer Iran's nuclear case to the UN Security Council.
Speaking to reporters, Asefi doubted the accuracy of the comments attributed to the French president as "they were reflected by an Israeli newspaper." "I'm not sure about the accuracy of Chirac's interview as it was reflected by an Israeli newspaper," Asefi said adding, "However, I recommend the Europeans not to use the language of threat against Iran as it would be of no use."
