Tehran, YJC. Naqavi Hosseini has said that Jack Straw is welcome to Iran only if he is going to apologize to Iranians.
The Spokesman of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy speaking in the open session of the Majlis on Sunday said in reaction to the reports of Jack Straw’s prospective visit to Iran "If Jack Straw is going to visit Iran to apologize to the nation and government, the Iranian nation will accept his apology, he may come and apologize; but if he thinks that he wants to resolve the tension between Iran and the UK, he must solve the problems with the UK not with Iran.”
Hossein Naqavi Hosseini added "So we hope that Jack Straw talks with his own government. It was they who cut the relations. It was they who left Tehran like they had done in the past. Therefore they must apologize to our nation and solve the problem in their own country.”
