Those mad mullahs don't know who their friends are. From the Hill:
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.
When asked Sunday if Kerry had filed a travel request as claimed or if Iran had taken pre-emptive action against talk of a visit, Jones told The Hill, "John Kerry has no plans to travel to Iran."
Laura Rozen did a good job parsing what "no plans" means, which is basically that Kerry had every intention of trying to talk to the mullahs, if not doing so in Iran. Well, that's not happening, either.
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.
Awesome. Why is Kerry trying to talk to these psychopaths? We should be killing them, because here's what's going to happen one way or another: either the mullahs flee to Russia or they get killed by us, their own people, or Israel (tacitly on behalf of the Arabs as well as themselves, as with Osirak). What are we waiting for? The centrifuges are spinning.
