| 2013-10-01 |
[Al Ahram] The commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards said Monday that President Hasan Rouhani should have refused to take last week's historic telephone call from US counterpart Barack ObamaI inhaled. That was the point... It was the first public criticism by a senior Iranian official of Friday's landmark first contact between leaders of the two countries since the rupture of diplomatic relations in the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic revolution. "The president took a firm and appropriate position during his stay" in New York for the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... General Assembly, General Mohammad Ali Jafari said in an interview with the Tasnimnews.com website. "But just as he refused to meet Obama, he should also have refused to speak with him on the telephone and should have waited for concrete action by the United States." The government can make "tactical errors" but these can be "repaired," said Jafari "If we see errors being made by officials, the revolutionary forces will issue the necessary warnings," he added. The public criticism came despite appeals earlier this month by both Rouhani and supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for the Guards, who have long seen themselves as guardians of the values of the revolution, to steer clear of politics. |
