Iran's government will not stand in the way of discussions between Iranian and U.S. legislators and would like to clear up mistrust between Tehran and Washington, the Iranian government spokesman said on Sunday.
"We reject any condition that would interfere in our internal affairs, but holding talks between precise bodies, such as parliament, is not forbidden," Abdollah Ramezan-Zadeh told a press conference.
"Whether discussions take place or not, that depends on Iranian deputies," he said, referring to an invitation last week from United States Senator Joseph Bidden for Iranian Parliament members to visit the U.S. capital, according to AFP.
"We accept any form of discussion, so long as it is not characterized by interference or threat. The mistrust between the two countries must be cleared up," he added. (Albawaba.com)
