Clinton can reasonably be prosecuted by the for her propaganda for war. There is not a qualitative difference between calling for an attack on another country and sending death threats to someone by mail. All forms of propaganda which are designed to provoke or encourage any threat to peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression are inadmissable. Any attack on Iran should be responded to by the working people with the utmost indignation.

Iran has complained to the United Nations about US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's rhetoric the US could "totally obliterate" Iran in retaliation for a nuclear strike against the Israeli occupying regime.

Iran's deputy ambassador to the UN Mehdi Danesh-Yazdi sent a letter to Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the president of the Security Council expressing Iran's condemnation of "such a provocative, unwarranted and irresponsible statement."

Clinton made the remarks last week while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The New York senator said she wanted to make clear to Tehran what she was prepared to do if she becomes president in the hope that this warning would deter any Iranian nuclear attack against the Jewish state.

"I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran (if it attacks Israel)," Clinton said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Tehran and the West are at loggerheads over the Islamic Republic's refusal to abandon its uranium enrichment, saying it has the right to the atomic work as stipulated in the Non-Proliferation Treaty, to which Iran is a signatory.

Israel is widely believed to have nuclear weapons but, as part of a policy of "strategic ambiguity," has not confirmed or denied the nature of its arsenal.

In the letter dated April 30, Danesh-Yazdi said he wanted to reiterate Iran's rejection of all weapons of mass destruction including nuclear weapons.

"Moreover, I wish to reiterate my government's position that the Islamic Republic of Iran has no intention to attack any other nations," he said.

"Nonetheless, Iran would not hesitate to act in self-defense to respond to any attack against the Iranian nation and to take appropriate defensive measures to protect itself."
