Iranian President Mohamad Khatami met with dozens of leaders and members of Iran’s Jewish community in a move described in Iran as an effort to soothe communal anxiety in the wake of the July 1 conviction of 10 Jews accused of spying. U.S. Jewish observers, however, view Khatami’s actions Thursday as a public relations maneuver in the run-up to his September visit to the United Nations.
