Iran cleric says detainees' interview exposed US plot
0 Comments | AFP, July, 2007
TEHRAN (AFP) — A top Iranian cleric said on Friday that televised interviews of jailed US-Iranian academics Haleh Esfandiari and Kian Tajbakhsh had exposed a US plot to topple the Islamic republic.
Iranian state television ran a controversial documentary, which has outraged Washington, showing the two scholars jailed in Iran for three months speaking of their roles in an alleged US drive to destabilise the Iranian regime.
"The unconventional and severe reaction of US media and statesmen even before airing the programme shows the Great Satan's concern about the exposure of its plot," Hojjatoleslam Ahmad Khatami said in a Friday sermon carried live on state radio.
Great Satan is a term used by Iranian officials for its arch-foe the United States.
