UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is reportedly planning to attend the Nonaligned Movement meeting in Tehran next week.His decision, announced by a spokesman, came despite objections from both the Americans and Israelis, including a phone call from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, the New York Times reported. It was announced a few days after the new president of Egypt, a country that has long been estranged from Iran, said he would attend the summit meeting as well, a decision that had already unsettled the Israelis.The moves are said to have reinforced Iran's contention that a reordering of powers is under way in the Middle East, where Western influence is waning, and that the American-Israeli campaign to vilify Iran as a rogue state that exports terrorism and secretly covetsnuclear weapons is not resonating in much of the world.
