KERMAN, Kerman Province The U.S. should change its hostile policies toward Iran, pledge to stop interference in Iran's internal affairs and recognize the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic, said Secretary of the Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei here Sunday.
Addressing students on the occasion of seizure of the Den of Spies (former U.S. embassy in Tehran), Rezaei, a former military chief said that contradictions in U.S. foreign policy is the main stumbling block to resumption of Tehran-Washington ties.
Muslim students following the path of Founder of the Islamic Republic, the late Imam Khomeini, raided the U.S. embassy on November 3, 1980 and took more than 50 Americans hostage who remained in their custody for 444 days. A few days after the embassy seizure, Washington officially severed relations with Iran.
Rezaei said, "The Americans have fallen into the trap of Zionism and made efforts to save themselves but to no avail." He said that the embassy seizure marked a turning point in Iran's political struggle on the international scene.
