IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, July 19, IRNA -- Iran on Monday turned down an offer made by US Senator John Kerry to talk because the U.S. Democrats proved inconsistency in word and action.
Head of the Majlis Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy Alaeddin Boroujerdi said that Iran turned down a request made by US Senator John Kerry to pay a visit to Tehran.
He said that the request had been conveyed to Iran by the Swiss ambassador in Tehran.
Speaking to IRNA, Boroujerdi said the case is now regarded as closed and there is no room to be followed up.
According to Swiss ambassador to Tehran, the US Senator John Kerry had voiced willingness to pay a visit to Iran and hold talks with the country’s officials, Boroujerdi said.
Since there is no change in the US policy concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran, there will be no change in Iran’s policy as well, Boroujerdi underlined.
U.S. President Barack Obama, a Democrat, said in his statements after taking office that he extends hand of friendship to Iran, but, he did to the contrary.
He extended all the former sanctions on Iran signed by the former presidents and signed a new unilateral sanctions in a publicized ceremony to block Iranian development in the field of oil and gas.
