TEHRAN, Iran - The U.N. chief got little satisfaction Sunday at the close of his trip to Tehran, snubbed by Iran's leader over international demands to stop enriching uranium and ignored in warnings not to incite hatred by questioning the Holocaust.
In a provocative move on the final day of Kofi Annan's two-day visit, Iran announced it would host a conference to examine what it called exaggerations about the Holocaust, during which more than 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis.
The move was sure to draw new international condemnation of Iran's stance on Jews. Hours after the announcement, Annan repeated his displeasure over an exhibition in Tehran of cartoons mocking the Holocaust that was opened as a response to Western caricatures of Prophet Muhammad.
"I think the tragedy of the Holocaust is an undeniable historical fact and we should really accept that fact and teach people what happened in World War II and ensure it is never repeated," Annan told reporters.
He commented after a meeting with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but the hard-line Iranian leader didn't accompany the U.N. chief to the news conference.
Ahmadinejad has drawn strong condemnations around the globe for calling the Nazis' slaughter of Jews a myth and saying Israel should be wiped off the map or moved to Germany or the United States.

I’m sure that most of you saw this coming all the way the same way I did.
No one with half a brain respects the United Nations, that includes most Americans and obviously you can add Iran to that list.
Why do we continue to go to the United Nations seeking salvation that will never materialize?
When was the last time the United Nations was actually able to impose the will of the international community? Iraq, North Korea, Iran, it’s all just a big joke.
Iran has stated from the beginning that they would not be shutting down or even delaying their nuclear enrichment program, but the world and the left still continues to cry out for us to pursue negotiations that in the end will be as fruitless as the attempts of Neville Chamberlain in the 1930’s.
The United Nations is following the dismal path set by the League of Nations in which the world was allowed to fall into world war because of the appeasers; we cannot allow that to happen under any circumstances.
It’s not really that I fear for our own country, I do no believe any country would openly and blatantly attack this country in the manner of Pearl Harbor other than another terrorist attack.
No country on the this planet can field a military that would be able to stop the juggernaut of the United States armed forces if they were to be fully unleashed upon this naïve world.
Iran can not hide behind the United Nations for very long, the United States will be knocking on the door very soon.
Lest you forget we already have a jumping off point for air strikes and a military invasion right next door in fun lovin Iraq.
We can not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon under any circumstances!
