Iran: Jewish lawmaker heads to UN with president
None
Iran's only Jewish lawmaker says he will be part of President Hasan Rohani's delegation to the United Nations. Siamak Moreh Sedgh, who represents Iran's Jewish community in the country's parliament, told The Associated Press on Thursday that he will accompany Rohani on his visit to New York. Moreh Sedgh says he is just waiting for his US visa.
This represents the first time the Iranian president will be accompanied by a Jewish lawmaker to the U.N. The move is seen as fulfilling Rohani's promise to give a bigger role in governance to minorities in the country. (AP)
