TEHRAN – Iran’s Intelligence Minister Ali Yunessi here Sunday scoffed at U.S. incentives aimed at coaxing the Islamic Republic to drop its uranium enrichment program and declared that Washington’s overtures are ridiculous, irrelevant, and insulting.

The U.S. concessions, announced by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, include an end to Washington’s opposition to Iran’s application for membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and a partial lifting of the ban on sales of some spare parts for Iran’s civilian aircraft.

“The offer is not only illogical but so absurd,” said the minister adding that the U.S. should apologize for insulting the Iranian people.

"They were in fact Arabs and probably Hezbollahis of Lebanon."

Also, some were identified as Algerians and Egyptians
