Iran ignores Annan's demands

The UN chief has got little satisfaction at the close of his trip to Tehran, snubbed by Iran’s leader over international demands to stop enriching uranium and ignored in warnings not to incite hatred by questioning the Holocaust.

In a provocative move on the final day of Kofi Annan’s two-day visit, Iran announced yesterday that it would host a conference to examine what it called exaggerations about the Holocaust, during which more than six million Jews were killed by the Nazis.
