Iran's Supreme Leader: No Iran-U.S. Thaw
(Jerusalem Post) Micha Halpern - Iran's religious, political, military and intelligence communities all came out against Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif's G-7 visit. President Rouhani and Zarif are now marginalized; they have alienated Iranian leadership. On Aug. 27, the Majlis passed a resolution condemning Rouhani by declaring that he violated a direct order of the supreme leader forbidding all contact with the Trump administration. There is no clearer indication of the direction Iran is taking than an open letter from the supreme leader. The letter was published on the front page of his weekly magazine. The headline read: "Negotiations with the U.S. Are Definitely Out of the Question" - and the letter was addressed to Zarif and to the diplomats of Iran.
