CASMII*: Sean Ali Stone, son of the renowned Oscar winning director Oliver Stone, who has recently converted to Islam in Iran underlined that the western countries' claims about the threat facing them from Iran's nuclear program are mere "lies".
"My issue, really, is I don't want to see our country go to war, and, you know, if it's going to be over the potential threat that Iran is to Israel, I would say that's a complete lie," Stone explained in an interview with the CNN television network on Thursday.
"We are in a very dangerous situation - precarious situation - right now, if Israel gets the green light, and attacks preemptively Iran, the way that we preemptively attacked Iraq. That's what I'm most concerned about," he added.
Stone recently converted to Islam while in Iran, and has had meetings and discussions with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
When asked why a man of Jewish upbringing would be interested in spending time with a leader who calls the Holocaust a "big deception," Stone replied, "Regardless if he believes it or not, it does not justify - to our thinking at least - the occupation of the West Bank, and the fact that the Palestinian situation has not been resolved in that region.
"I don't care if he believes in the Holocaust. I don't want to see our country go to war." » | Source: FARS News Agency | Saturday, February 25, 2012
