The Iranian website Asr-e Iran stated that the Western media had distorted statements by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an April 26 interview on ABC TV, that 'Iran would agree to any decision made by the Palestinians,' as meaning agreement to the 'two-state vision' and recognition of Israel.
The website stated that the distortion of Ahmadinejad's words was aimed at weakening Iran's status among the Arabs who see it as supporting Palestinian rights.
It should be noted that during the interview, Ahmadinejad said that 'the Palestinian people has the right to decide its own fate' by means of a referendum held amongst all Palestinians worldwide, not only residents of the Palestinian territories.
Under this Iranian solution, the Jews in Israel could participate in the referendum only if they had lived in pre-1948 Palestine.
