Iran has sent out a letter to the world’s top diplomats Tuesday emphasizing the peaceful intentions of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme. Ahmadinejad and his foreign ministry continue to persuade the West that Iran’s nuclear ambitions are ‘not a threat against any country’.

It was not specified whether the US had been sent the letter. It would hardly matter considering the disbelief projected by the Bush regime over Iran’s nuclear programme. Previous efforts by the Iranian camp to reach out to the US have failed as the Neocons in Washington continue with their attempt to isolate Tehran and bang on the drums of war.

President Ahmadinejad previously sent president Bush an 18-page letter creatively discussing religious values, history, and international relations. Ahmadinejad wrote of the sorrow felt around the world following 9/11 but cautioned Bush of the Western media response of intensifying the climate of fear and insecurity. In the letter, Ahmadinejad asks inquisitively if it is ‘possible to calculate the damages incurred from fear and panic?’
