Iranian supreme leader rejects U.S. call for direct talks on nuke program
“Some naive people like the idea of negotiating with America, however, negotiations will not solve the problem,” Khamenei said in a speech to officials and members of Iran’s air force carried on his official website.
“If some people want American rule to be established again in Iran, the nation will rise up to face them,” he said.
“American policy in the Middle East has been destroyed and Americans now need to play a new card. That card is dragging Iran into negotiations.”

Would you want to talk with Biden about anything, you would leave the room stupider than when you entered.

This still? Obama and his screaming minions were blathering about direct talks with Iran since when? 2007?

Well, some much for that line of thinking.
That was a simple FU, with no letter to follow.

I find that rebuff to be quite refreshing. There is now no reason to not take them out.

Administrations have been trying to “talk” with Iran for decades. So have other governments. The French, the Italians, the British…
And every time they’ve been rebuffed.
But our Ron Paul aligned posters will come along and ignore all this.
The Iranian government wants to dominate the region. The long history of the Persians shows this. They view the Arabs as lesser beings. In order to do this they must first drive us out of the region.
That’s their goal.
