NEW YORK, NY March 10, 2005 — Earlier this week, President Bush called on Iran to "stop using murder as a tool of policy and to end all support of terrorism". Here in New York, Iranians are watching the back and forth closely. A spokesman for Iranian foreign ministry replied in the Iranian media that Bush should "stop labelling freedom-seeking nations as terrorists". The exchange was the latest in a ratcheting up of rhetoric between the two countries. But, as Ladane Nasseri reports, Local Iranians' political involvement remains discrete.
