Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sat down with Mike Wallace of CBS News in Tehran on Tuesday in a rare, exclusive interview with a Western reporter. In the wide-ranging interview that lasted 90 minutes, Ahmadinejad commented on President Bush's foreign policy, the lack of relations between Iran and the U.S., Hezbollah, Lebanon and Iraq.
We're not exactly expecting much in the line of tough questions from Wallace, who dismissed the common perceptions of Ahmadinejad. "He's actually, in a strange way, he's a rather attractive man, very smart, savvy, self-assured, good looking in a strange way," Wallace said. "He's very, very short but he's comfortable in his own skin... He couldn't have been more accommodating. He had a good time doing the interview."
Portions of the interview will appear on the CBS Evening News tonight. The entire report will be broadcast on 60 Minutes this Sunday.
