The representative of Iranian Jews at the parliament says Iran continues to distrust the US, unless Washington changes its hostile approach towards Tehran.Until the US has not changed its relations with Iran completely, they cannot be trusted, said Iranian Jewish lawmaker, Siamak Mareh-Sedq, on Friday.
Alluding to the recent diplomatic interactions between Iran and the US, Mareh-Sedq said, At some point, we may change our dialogue with this country on the basis of our national interests, but we still distrust them.
The Iranian legislator argued that the US animosity towards Iran has its roots in the Iranian nations aspirations for freedom and independence.
