Nobel prize, not political motivated

IRIB English News
Tehran

Tehran, Oct 11 - Vice President for legal and parliamentary affairs Mohammad-Ali Abtahi said here on Friday that the Nobel peace award of Iranian lawyer Ms Shirin Ebadi is by no means political motivated.

The vice president added that Ms Ebadi has been very active in promoting the human rights, in particular those of women and children, and there is no political incentive in awarding her with the prestigious prize.

Congratulating Ms Ebadi and the Iranian nation, Abtahi termed her success as a great achievement not only for her but also for the great Iranian people.

I would like to continue here...
I have asked you about Israeli preemptive attacks on Iran.
Will this attck weaken Iranian reformists' position?
I suggested that Mullahs and hard-liners within the government will militarize Iranian society. This is a double pressure on the Iranian people.
What do you think?
