/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If a Democrat elected the president of the United
States, the policy toward Iran will undergo changes, said Richard
Holbrooke, an adviser to presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.
"We wish to establish direct ties with Tehran, may be with assistance
of France. The Bush administration was guided by an absurd idea
to fight in Iraq and challenge Iran simultaneously. This is an
erroneous idea engendered mostly by variance between Republicans and
Democrats. The talks with Iran should focus not only on the nuclear
program but also on Hamas and Hezbollah," he said.
"The data provided by the U.S. intelligence on Iran's nuclear
facilities has cardinally changed the situation. This was a real
outbreak of the secret services which openly refused the role of
puppets as it was in case with Iraq. That was a real revanche!
The reports shocked everyone and the president, first of all. Under
the circumstances, the Bush administration will never dare to attack
Iran," Mr Holbrooke said in an interview with Le Monde.
