Iran warns against US pressure in talks
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran's supreme leader on Tuesday warned against the U.S. imposing its will on negotiations with Tehran.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's statements come as Iran is asking to modify a U.N. proposal for Russia and France to turn its uranium stockpile into nuclear fuel and allay Western fears over a possible weapons program.
``Whenever the U.S offers a smile, it hides a dagger in his back,'' said Khamenei according to the state news agency. He rejected ``talks in which the U.S. decides about its results in advance.' |

So much for talks without preconditions with Iran. You'd think they would be more accepting of the US as a 'mostly Muslem country'. Appeasment works as well as it always has.
And in the meanwhile, our troops in Afghanistan await reinforcements...
Khamenei also slammed what he called ``the new U.S. president's beautiful words,'' which are not supported by deeds, referring to several messages directed by President Barack Obama to the Iranian people.
Khamenei, who has final say in all state matters, also urged the U.S. not to pin its hopes on the Iranian opposition, who are calling for better ties with the West, describing them as ``few'' and ``naive.
The 'naive' label would seem to fit another player in this game...
