Iran denies entry to Sen. Kerry By Bridget Johnson - 01/03/10 01:48 PM ET
Iranian legislators on Sunday decided to not allow a visit from Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.), according to Iranian media.
"Members of the Iranian parliament's Foreign Relations Committee (a subcommittee of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission) voiced opposition to the request after studying the issue," Hassan Ebrahimi, head of the committee, told the semi-official Fars News Agency.
Several Iranian news outlets reported last week that Kerry had submitted an official request to visit Tehran in an emissary role.
Kerry spokesman Frederick Jones told the Wall Street Journal before Christmas, though, that no trip had been scheduled. "Is he planning now on going to Iran? The answer is no," said Jones.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said last week that "legislative officials are studying the case and they are in charge for providing a response."
On Saturday, Iranian legislators stepped up the rhetoric against the news that Kerry was considering traveling to Tehran with the blessing of the White House.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran has no plans to negotiate with any American official, unless the country (the U.S.) changes its policies," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Zohreh Elahian said, according to Fars News Agency.
"Iran-US relations are not under such conditions that could produce results through a number of non-targeted meetings and talks," rapporteur of the parliament's Nationals Security and Foreign Policy Commission Kazzem Jalali told Fars on Saturday in response to a question about Kerry wishing to visit Iran.
"Americans are more seeking to exploit the media and means of propaganda in a bid to gain an advantage," Jalali said. "...A number of the high-ranking officials in the present U.S. administration sent letters for talks with Iranian officials when they served as senators.
"The bills ratified in the US legislative bodies against Iran are examples of paradoxical behavior which we are witnessing from American statesmen towards Iran, and indicate that their policies on Iran are not honest," he added.
Post of the thread... thus far.
...He was in Viet Nam, ya know...
Really? I hadn’t heard that. *snicker*
Something seems different. I would assume they would have agreed in the past. Are they further along (on the nuke path) then we think? Do they think they can bargain? Why would they need to? Obama has shwn no strength towards them. They have nothing to fear from him.
They probably still think he is in the military. He was in Viet Nam, ya know.
++++++++++++++++++
Did ya know he was wounded there, and got 5 medals for I think 3 hangnails? He may have also been ‘wounded in the buttocks.’

Can bammy still win the 2016 Olympics or get his Chicago gangstas to strong arm the Olympic committee somehow? lol..
But didn’t Kerry tell them he has Purple Hearts?
It’ll be seared in his memory. Just like Christmas in Cambodia! I don’t like the Mullahs in Tehran, but I might consider high fiving them for sticking it to Jean-Clod.
So much hair, so few places to go. Far too tall for Imidgetnutjob.
JF’nK should have snuck into Iran on a swiftboat just like his secret mission on one to Cambodia. ‘Reporting for Duty’.
dag nabbit.
Poor Lurch.
Gosh wouldn’t you think they’d know the value of a “useful idiot” like Hanoi Jane, er, Hanoi John?

US Senator John Kerry

He will probably claim another Purple Heart for that!
Obviously the camel jockeys don't know that he was in Veitnam.
The Iranians are passing up a perfect opportunity. John Kerry makes Neville Chamberlain look like George Patton. The Iranian legislature has saved us much money and embarrassment by keeping Kerry out.
They know he was in Viet Nam and do not want to hear anymore about it.
The headline gave the best laugh I had all day!
Thanks!
