Iran said on Sunday that a rapprochement with Washington was impossible until the United States stopped interfering in Tehran's domestic affairs. Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi also fired back at US accusations that Iran's presidential poll, the first round of which was held on Friday, was a sham. "We are willing to hold a survey in the region to see whether it is Iran or the US which is pursuing real democracy," he told reporters in Tehran.
"When America continues to interfere in Iran's state matters and supports Iranian opposition groups and so on, there is no room for a change in relations," Kharrazi added.
Washington often criticises Iran for human rights abuses and accuses Tehran of funding anti-Israeli militias and seeking nuclear arms. Iran denies these charges.
