We support a coalition for peace, and we are ready to do everything to form such a coalition for peace to prevent a new war." TEHRAN (AFP): Iran on Wednesday hailed a deal struck in Vienna between Iraqi and UN officials on arms inspections and called for opponents of US war plans to join a "coalition for peace". "We have stated on numerous occasions that we are against all unilateral action. The initiative on inspections has been made in the framework of UN resolutions, and we support it," government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh told reporters. "Before the return of inspectors, we advised Iraq to accept them. And now, we advise others not to plunge the region into a new war," he added, in a clear reference to US President George W. Bush's administration. "We will not join any coalition for war. We support a coalition for peace, and we are ready to do everything to form such a coalition for peace to prevent a new war," the spokesman added. UN inspection agency UNMOVIC head Hans Blix and Iraqi officials agreed Tuesday on an arrangement for the return of arms inspectors after a four-year absence, but Washington vowed to stop them going back unless the UN took a tougher stance to disarm Iraq. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
