WASHINGTON (CNN) The Obama administration is seriously considering not extending invitations to Iranian diplomats for July 4 celebrations overseas, senior administration officials tell CNN.
The officials said intense discussions on the issue were taking place, but the final decision had not been made.
Late last month the State Department sent a cable to its embassies and consulates worldwide informing them they may invite representatives from the government of Iran to their July 4th celebrations.
The U.S. receptions marking Independence Day usually feature symbols of Americana, such as hot dogs, red-white-and-blue decorations and remarks by U.S. officials about Americas founding fathers.
The Obama administration had decided to invite Iranians to the celebrations at overseas posts as part of President Obamas policy of engaging the Iranian regime.
