Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said US remarks on elections in Iran indicate a "contradiction" in its policies.
During his weekly press briefing Sunday, Asefi referred to Washington's attempts to stop elections in Iraq and said
US comments regarding the mechanism of holding elections in Iran proved a contradiction in its policies.
He brushed aside the possibility of any new developments in Tehran-Washington ties as long as America's wrong policies toward Iran continued to exist.
Asefi described as "clear cases of interference in Iran's internal affairs," the remarks of certain American politicians regarding the 7th Majlis [parliament] elections, the official IRNA news agency reported.
With regards to the Israeli prime minister's recent decision to "evacuate" Jewish settlements in Gaza, Asefi noted that the recent developments in Palestine proved the victory of the resistance and the steadfastness of the Palestinian people.
On the issue of Iran-Egypt ties, Asefi said Tehran-Cairo relations were moving forward on a "smooth path stage by stage". (Albawaba.com)
