# How low can you go? Iran rejects Israel's help with earthquake

By Roy Osherove December 29, 2003 In [Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic)

**Historical article** · Originally published December 29, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

Gotta love the Iranian goverment:

_"Jahanbakhsh Khanjani, a spokesman for Iran's Interior Ministry, said Saturday that **Iran would accept aid from all countries of the world, aside from Israel**. The announcement followed statements by foreign correspondents in Jerusalem, who reported that the Foreign Ministry had said that unofficial Israeli sources were considering sending aid to Iran. "The Islamic Republic of Iran accepts all kinds of humanitarian aid from all countries and international organizations with the exception of the Zionist regime \[Israel\]," Khanjani said."_
