Iran Guards chief: Rouhani should have spurned Obama call
The commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards said Monday that President Hassan Rouhani should have refused to take last week's historic telephone call from US counterpart Barack Obama.
"The president took a firm and appropriate position during his stay" in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, General Mohammad Ali Jafari said in an interview with the Tasnimnews.com website. "But just as he refused to meet Obama, he should also have refused to speak with him on the telephone and should have waited for concrete action by the United States." (AFP)
