Iran, Israel cross swords at Davos

AFP, Davos
Iran yesterday stepped up attempts to normalise its relations with the West with a Davos charm offensive that was immediately attacked by Israel as a confidence trick.
On a visit to the Swiss resort aimed at enticing international investors back to Iran, President Hassan Rohani told the World Economic Forum his government was sincere in its desire for a new relationship based on mutual trust and a rebuilding of economic ties that have been shattered by international sanctions.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, also speaking at the prestigious gathering, warned the West not to take the media-friendly Iranian's offer at face value, insisting there was no concrete evidence of any fundamental change in the nature of the Islamic regime.
" Hassan Rohani can say something but it doesn’t make it real," Netanyahu said. "It's false.”
He said the Iranian president's claim that Tehran wanted to promote stability and security in the Middle East had "no connection with what is going on the ground," notably in Syria, where he said Iranian Revolutionary Guards and its Hezbollah allies were fighting and killing alongside government forces.
Rohani was making his first international outing since he created a stir at the United Nations in New York in September by outlining his new government’s desire for a fresh start in relations with the US and other Western powers.
In his speech, described as a message of friendship and hope by the Forum organisers, he unveiled a proposal to create a new multilateral body tasked with stabilising global energy supplies.
Rohani said Tehran was ready to put some of its extensive oil and gas reserves at the disposal of the proposed new body.
"We are prepared to engage in a serious process to establish a reliable institution for this longterm partnership," he said.
An agreement on a modest easing of the sanctions took effect this week in line with an interim accord on Iran's
nuclear capacity agreed between Tehran and major world powers in November.
The interim agreement is intended to pave the way for a fuller accord and a further lifting of sanctions.
In his speech, Rohani described the nuclear accord, which limits his country's ability to enrich uranium and provides for inspections of its facilities, as marking the start of a new phase in relations with the United States.
He said Iran believed a full deal was achievable but also reiterated that the regime would never give up its right to join some 40 other countries in acquiring the capacity to generate nuclear power and use nuclear technology for other peaceful ends.
"We have never sought anything other than peaceful use of nuclear technology and we will not accept obstacles being put in the way of our scientific progress," he said.
Israel believes Iran remains dangerously close to the capacity to build a nuclear missile which would threaten the Jewish state's existence.
