US State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki in a statement on Saturday had called for the release of a number Iranian prisoners.
Ayatollah Amoli Larijani said in a conference in the western city of Khorramabad that such messages by the US president and others are examples of foreign intervention in the country's affairs.
�The time of capitulations � is over, and people now would not sell their honor,� Iran�s judiciary chief stressed, referring to the capitulations law enforced in Iran before the 1979 Revolution that granted diplomatic immunity to US nationals.
"No one can meddle in the country�s internal affairs," he added.
In similar remarks on Sunday, Iran�s Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham also rejected Washington�s meddling, describing the US State Department�s comments as an example of interference in Iran�s domestic affairs.
