| Tehran, Nov 9, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said on Saturday that the US Justice department's decision to fingerprint Iranian citizens who entered the United States before September 11, 2002 is an affront to Iranians and runs counter to ethical and civil society norms. Unfortunately, the US Justice Department despite admitting that none of Iranian citizens was involved in September 11 terrorist attacks and even several Iranians fell victims to the attacks in the United States, has announced such a decision, Asefi said. He said that the United States has embarked on application of insulting behavior in international relations insisting on superiority, discrimination and grading the citizens from different countries which are not acceptable and the US administration will suffer the most from such an approach bringing backlash of the public opinion. |
