Tehran wants US apology over errant missile landing 12:01 GMT, 27 January 1999 TEHRAN, Jan 27 (AFP) -Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi called on the United States on Wednesday to apologize over the landing of an Iraq-bound missile in an Iranian border town. "The United States should present its apologies and repair the damage incurred," state radio quoted Kharazi as saying. "The US government must repair the moral damage it has inflicted on Iran for the violation of its air space." The minister warned that Iran's armed forces "will respond to any aggression and defend the country," but did not elaborate. Iran's parliamentary speaker Ali-Akbar Nateq Nuri accused the United States on Wednesday of threatening his country's national security after the landing of the stray missile on the outskirts of Abadan on Monday. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a discussion list run by Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq.
