Iran Seeks To Drive a Wedge Between Obama, Israel
You can't blame them for trying
Iran has claimed that the Obama administration has "completely different" views on the Islamic Republic to Israel and the US Republican Party, according to an intelligence ministry report.
The report, posted on the ministry's newly launched website vaja.ir, claimed that the Democrats had "pinned their" hopes on a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear threat, and that there was "open confrontation between President Barack Obama and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the issue.
It was apparently prepared before Mr Obama's re-election victory on Tuesday over Mitt Romney.
"The Republican party has a more severe confrontational approach towards Iran … and its proposed policies are close to those of the Zionist (Israel) regime," it said according to an AFP report.
Mr Obama's "Democratic party's position is completely different" on Iran, it added.
