Iran calls WikiLeaks documents worthless

TEHRAN - Iran said Monday that thousands of US diplomatic messages leaked this week by the WikiLeaks organization were worthless and would not have any impact on Iran’s relations with Arab countries.

“These documents follow certain political aims and are some sort of intelligence game and, therefore, without any legal basis,” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at a press conference in Tehran.

According to the WikiLeaks documents, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain urged the US to halt Iran’s nuclear programme by any means, including through a military attack.

“We do not bother to take these documents seriously, and they will have no impact on our relations,” Ahmadinejad said.
