Tehran, March 30, IRNA � A leading US newspaper wrote Monday that any calls to attack Iran is an �irresponsible invitation to disaster.�

�American or Israeli bombs on Persia (or both) would have all sorts of ghastly consequences, but the fundamental argument against such folly is that they would cause no more than a hiccup in Iran�s nuclear program, the Op-Ed columnist, Roger Cohen, wrote in his latest article in the New York Times today.


Referring to Iran as a �hopeful and youthful society,� Cohen said, �Nurture the hope. Don�t imprison it.�

Touching upon current nuclear talks between Iran and the Group 5+1 which is underway in the Swiss city of Lausanne, Cohen said, ��it is the best conceivable outcome of protracted talks aching any agreement is not against US opposition with Iran�s role in the region.�

US has already proved that it can deal with the countries that had fundamental ideological differences with the United States like when it resumed relations with China in the 1970s.

'�the chance of positive developments is enhanced by contact and diminished by punitive estrangement of Tehran,� Cohen argued.
