Iran's Zarif says Warsaw meeting 'dead on arrival'
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Wednesday that a two-day conference being co-hosted by Washington in Warsaw on Iran and the Middle East was “dead on arrival”. “It is another attempt by the United States to pursue an obsession with Iran that is not well-founded,” Zarif told a Tehran news conference. Zarif said not even Washington had any interest in the conference as a forum for an exchange of views among the 60 participating countries.
