Former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami last week called for peaceful dialogue with the West at the sixth Eurasion Media Forum in Kazakhstan, but cursed Israeli journalists who approached him. Khatami refused to speak to the Israeli reporters present at the talks. Israel Channel 10 television reported that Khatami had cursed them, saying, "Go to hell." On Friday, Khatami skipped a meeting on Iran's nuclear program because an Israeli representative was slated to speak.
