Iran warns Israel of Islamic 'explosion'
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has warned that Israel’s offensive in the Gaza Strip could cause an “explosion” in the Islamic world. So far, however, Arabs have staged only small and sporadic demonstrations and their governments have made few complaints.
In a speech to thousands of people at a pro-Palestinian rally in Tehran yesterday, the president warned Israel’s Western allies that Israel’s incursion could provoke an angry response from the world’s 50-odd Muslim nations.
