TEHRAN, Iran � Iran�s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is calling a visit to Israel by U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney as �kissing the foot� of the Jewish state to boost his bid for the White House.
Ahmadinejad did not specifically name Romney, but his comments were an unmistakable jab at the Republican contender�s stop this week in Israel. Romney strongly backed Israel�s drive to stop Iran from possibly seeking nuclear weapons. Tehran denies the claims.
Ahmadinejad questioned why Romney would make �concessions to get some pennies for (his) campaign?�
Ahmadinejad made the comments during a speech Tuesday broadcast on state TV.
