Netanyahu: I'm Prepared to Talk to Rouhani on the Phone

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Benjamin Netanyahu has said he is prepared to speak with the Iranian president on the telephone, and would consider meeting him, but only to demand that Tehran abandon its nuclear programme.

The Israeli prime minister said in interviews following his appearance at the United Nations General Assembly this week that he did not rule out engaging in diplomatic contact with Hassan Rouhani.

Having told CNN that he would accept a call from the Iranian president, he was then asked by NPR if he would agree to a meeting. “If I’m offered, I’ll consider it,” said Mr Netanyahu.

However, the hawkish Israeli leader reiterated that nothing less than the comprehensive scrapping of Tehran’s nuclear enrichment scheme would be acceptable to his country.

“The reason they insist on enrichment is because they want to maintain the path to nuclear weapons,” he said, dismissing Iran’s claims the programme is directed at civilian energy production.

Mr Netanyahu also poured cold water on hopes that Mr Rouhani, a relative moderate who last week held a landmark phone conversation with President Barack Obama, could achieve significant reform.

“He is a servant of the regime,” said Mr Netanyahu. » | Jon Swaine, New York | Friday, October 04, 2013

Piers Morgan Interviews Sean Ali Stone (February 2012)

Sean Stone, son of controversial director Oliver Stone, converted to Islam in Iran last week and says he's already experiencing a Hollywood backlash.

The ceremony was held in Isfahan, where he is researching a documentary. He now goes by the name of Sean Christopher Ali Stone.

He told Page Six: ''I've already experienced the reverse of anti-Semitism, having people within the film industry express a reluctance to work with me now that I have said a simple prayer, 'There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his messenger.' I am sure I have (bleeped) off some powerful people.'' Speaking over dinner at Barrio 47, Sean told us, ''Having read the Koran and having been around the Islamic culture, especially in Iran, I do believe that Mohammed is a Prophet of the same God worshiped by other religions.
