Kofi Weighs In

Fox News

Fresh off a visit to Tehran, where he was rebuffed in his effort to convince Iran to suspend its nuclear enrichment program, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has now pronounced himself on Iran and Lebanon.

So what does Annan say about the country that facilitated the destruction by arming Hezbollah terrorists? Annan tells the Spanish newspaper El Pais that the international community "should count on Iran" in rebuilding Lebanon.

He also says Iran assured him, "that they are not seeking nuclear weapons and their intentions are peaceful," saying, quote: "The main thing is we have to avoid confrontation."
