TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said on Monday a US-organized Middle-East conference was "doomed to failure" and said it was being held to help Israel not the Palestinians.
The United States is due to host a so-called Middle-East peace conference on Tuesday in Annapolis, Maryland. Iran, which does not recognize Israel, has opposed the plan from the outset.
"All politicians in the world are aware that this conference is doomed to failure," Khamenei told a parade of Baseeji (volunteer) troops in an address televised live on state television.
"They hope that in this way (by holding this conference) they can give assistance to the Zionists," he said, referring to Israel.
Khamenei had urged Muslim countries to boycott the meeting.
"Arab countries must be aware of the plots and tricks by the Zionist enemy," President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a telephone conversation with Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah late on Sunday.
"I wish the name of Saudi Arabia was not listed among the attending states at the Annapolis conference," he told the king, whose country will be represented at the talks.
Iran has called for a free referendum to be attended by all the original indigenous population who lived in Palestine before the Zionist invasion - wherever they now live and whatever their religion or background - to decide on the fate of the country.

SPB is it Cheney or the Iran Supreme Leader?
What an idiot Bush is all this was Connie's doing. To think the Bush Administration has made the Middle East worse and expect these guys to make a deal. All the Presidents before this idiot work their hold term trying to get an agreement. Bush walks in says agree and that's it he leaves and expect all this to happen. One main country is missing from the plan it's Iran. Bush has invited the countries he calls the axis of evil to the United States as his guest.
