Tehran, April 6, IRNA - The first vice-chairman of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission said on Monday the Iranian and the US officials have not held any meeting in The Hague on March 31.
Esmail Kosari told IRNA refuted as just rumors any meeting between Iranian and the US diplomats or exchange of any letter between them.
