Iran has promised Thailand that it will no longer try to carry out attacks on Israeli targets on its soil, according to a report on Tuesday.

 

Citing a Foreign Ministry cable and a pair of Israeli officials, the Walla news site reported Tuesday that Bangkok informed Jerusalem of the development during a high-level diplomatic visit to Thailand.

 

The Israeli delegation was reportedly led by Aliza Bin Noun, the Foreign Ministry’s political director.

 

The report said a senior Thai diplomat told Bin Noun that Iranian officials reaffirmed the pledge not to attack Israelis while he was visiting Tehran in August.

According to an old friend, many Israelis choose Goa over Thailand. They have 'business dealings' there.

What about Ukrainians? Any news if they are still a risk from Iranian drones?

We will carry out state sponsored terrorism, but ot in Thailand. 

[Martyjustice]

“No Longer”.  Does that say anything?

Who would trust anything that Iran said? TIT NAME.

[RichardColeman]

Just more untrustworthy words from an untrustworthy Islamic state.

I would be careful who they are letting in the country in the first place. Just revoke all visas from Iran. Job done.

No. You need to distinguish between the people and the regime. Especially now.

Naming Israelis only as not a target ignores American tourists who are at much risk of attack in response to the assassination of Iran’s Soleimani. When America assassinated him, it was warned that retribution would follow one day.

Perhaps Iranians are the next group of tourists set to come here and rescue the tourist industry, like the Indians and Russians have done. Next target is the Ku Klux Klan.

More than happy if they stay in Goa. Another country run by a fundamentalist Government.

How nice of them, Islam has its nice side after all.

[AlQaholic]

Rubbish. An Iranian official would never say "no longer", that would be an admittance that they have done this in the past, which Iranian officials would never do. When did anyone hear Iranian officials admit anything? It is always deny, deny and misdirect.

[spidermike007]

We promise. We will not be terrorists within your country. We will try to behave ourselves and we will ask our roving assassins to behave themselves, because your nation is so special and we love your food and women. 

[bamnutsak]

"no longer"?
