Israeli 'treated very well' in Iran​

An Israeli passenger who spends several hours in Tehran after emergency landings, says "They treated me very well and invited me to visit again."

An Israeli citizen found himself at an international airport in Iran this weekend, after his Turkish Airlines plane, which was bound for India, had to land in Iran due to a technical malfunction.

Benny Medvediev, 32, from Rehovot boarded a Turkish Airlines flight to Mumbai in Istanbul on Friday. Two and-a-half hours after takeoff, the captain informed the 125 passengers and crew members that because of a technical problem he was forced to land the plane in Tehran.

The 123 passengers were forced to spend the night in the airport's international lounge, Haaretz said. Even after the flight was resumed the next day, it was forced after two hours by further mechanical problems to return to Iran.

Despite the knowledge of his nationality, the Iranians were very nice in both visits, he said.

"At first I was very concerned, I was scared to death," Medvediev said. "But they were very nice to me and even invited me to visit Tehran again. I told them, 'Let's make peace, I invite you to come to Jerusalem'," Y-Net website quoted him as saying.

"They told me, 'We know that you're Israeli, but you have nothing to worry about. We will help you with anything you need'."

Despite his concerns, Medvediev ended up receiving VIP treatment from the Iranians, Y-Net wrote. Before his plane took off for the second time, the Iranian security personnel gave him a wooden music box as a souvenir from his unusual visit.

"The truth is that I was afraid,'' Benny told Y-Net.

"I serve in the army reserves and I have some pictures of me on my computer dressed in a uniform and standing at a [West Bank] roadblock.''

When Turkish Airlines sent a replacement airplane, the flight was resumed for a second time and it finally landed in Mumbai.

Nice news but the disturbing fact is that they totally think of the Iranians as crazed killers.

They should have given him a Ipod.

No, technically Iran and Israel are at war. As a member of the reserves caught out of unifmr he could have been legally hanged as a spy. FYI
