Don’t give US an excuse: Khatami

TEHRAN: The United States wants to overthrow the Islamic regime in Tehran, which must avoid giving Washington any excuse to step up its campaign, Iranian President Khatami said Thursday.

“The White House is taking a stand against the Iranians and wants to overthrow the Islamic regime, but we should not give them any pretext,” he said addressing a crowd in Firuzkuh. —AFP
