Techiyas HaMeisim?

From Iranian Students News Agency. Which Rabbi Stephen Wise is this article talking about?
Anti-Zionists Jews Leader Rabbi Stephen Wise said Iran has always been friend of other countries despite the West’s false media propaganda.

In a meeting between Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and a number of leaders of the US anti-Zionists Jews on the sidelines of the UN Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) review conference, the rabbi appreciated Iran’s stance in the conference. [...]
Update: I've figured it out, I think. They are confusing Yisroel Dovid Weiss of the Neturei Karta with Stephen Wise! Here is Fars:
President Ahmadinejad, heading a high-ranking delegation, was in New York to take part in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference at the UN headquarters.

At the meeting with the anti-Zionist rabbis, President Ahmadinejad stressed that supporting the rights of the oppressed people against the arrogant powers sets a priority for the Islamic Republic of Iran.

He also reiterated Tehran's support for minority rights, and added, "We have always underlined the rights of minorities in Iran and we are supporting their rights."

During the meeting, Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, spokesman of Neturei Karta International thanked Ahmadinejad for the stances adopted and declared by Iran in the NPT review conference.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran have always been a defender of the right and despite the false propaganda launched by the western median, the government of Iran is a friend of the world nations," Weiss stressed.

Neturei Karta (Aramaic for "Guardians of the City") was founded nearly 70 years ago in Jerusalem by Jews who opposed the drive to establish the state of Israel, believing only the Messiah could do that. Estimates of the group's size range from a hundred thousand to less than a million. [...]
A lot less than a million, I'd say.
