QOM -- Association of instructors at Qom Seminary on Monday held a rally to voice support for the guidelines of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei banning talks with the United States.
At the end of the rally a seven-point resolution was issued in support of the Leader's statement last week terming negotiations with the United States as futile, IRNA reported.
"The United States should know that the Iranian nation will never forget the crimes the U.S.-backed regime of deposed Shah perpetrated against Iranians," the resolution said.
Iran will not hold talks with the United States as long as the U.S. doesn't change its anti-Iran behavior and stop the irresponsible statements against Iran, the senior clerics said.
