Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says his country doesn’t need mediators in settling its relations with the US. This comes after Turkey offered to help broker talks between the two countries.










Iran is absolutely right. The era of backroom politics should end and justice and respect should prevail if international relations are to be based on trust and peaceful intentions. The US has no reson to suspect Iranian intentions. They are clear and verifiable. However, Iran has every reason to be careful about the US intentions. The US has proved to be untrustworthy partner especially in the last decade. It needs to do a lot to regain a modicum of trust and respect from the rest of the world, most of all Iran.
