Larijani: Obama is international villain

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani has called US President Barack Obama an “international villain” for his earlier remarks about the US support for the Iranian nation.

“How dare Obama say these words that he seeks to help the Iranian nation? He should know that he is an international villain who has never supported the Iranian nation,” ISNA quoted Larijani as saying in the southern city of Shiraz on Saturday.

“The US is currently standing against the Iranian nation. Obama should know that we do not need a message, what we need is to be able to trust his words,” he said.

“The Americans are displaying an attitude that deserves an international evilness medal,” the Majlis speaker added.

Larijani’s remarks came one day after the US president said the door for diplomacy with Tehran was still open over its long-standing nuclear dispute with the international community.

“Our strong preference is to resolve these issues diplomatically. I think that’s in Iran’s interest. I think that is in the interest of the international community,” Obama said.
