Lisa Mullins of Public Radio International's “The World” program spoke with Mohamad Manzarpour of the BBC's Persian Service on Iran's move to suspend talks about Iraq's regional security.
Toward the end of the conversation Mullins asks Manzarpour about the Iranian public's reaction to Senator Clinton's recent remarks about what she would do as President if Iran were to attack Israel: “totally obliterate them.”
Manzarpour reports that there is a lot of interest in the primaries in Iran. He said Clinton's remarks greatly effected Iranian public opinion: there is “immense worry and anxiety” among Iranians, no matter their political bent, that the next US President might attack Iran.
