In an interview withC5N’s network host Debora Plager, Correa defended his country’s close relations with Tehran saying, “I do not consider Iran a threat… it is a democratic country, at leastformally, while the U.S. has, among its allies, monarchies with no elections, countries where women cannot drive that have a religious police… There I see a double standard. Weshould not be manipulated by certain hegemonic countries.” When Plager replied that “for Argentina this is very sensitive, since Iranian officials are accused of havingparticipated in the AMIA – Jewish Center attack,” Correa responded, “I know that this is a very painful case for Argentina, but how many people died in NATO’s bombing of Libya?Let’s compare to see where the real danger lies.”
