IRAN: THREAT OF A WIDER WAR

Needham, Mass.

In "A Triangle of Realpolitik: Iran, Iraq and the United States" [March 17], professor Mansour Farhang, a dissident who to my knowledge has not been to Iran for more than twenty years, presents a misleading account of where Iran stood vis-à-vis the looming US invasion of Iraq. Farhang's assertion that "Washington's determination to overthrow Saddam Hussein is most welcome in Teheran" simply has no foundation in fact, and the author himself amends it in the rest of the article.
