Iran's Leader Rejects Obama's Offer Until It Sees Real Change
Tehran - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday rejected an offer by US President Barack Obama to open a new era in relations until Tehran could see real changes in US policies. "The new US president sends us a Persian New Year greeting message but in the same accuses us again to support terrorism and to be after nuclear weapons," the supreme leader said in a televised speech in the city of Mashad in north-eastern Iran.

"He offers us his hand with a velvet glove under which, however, might be a cast-iron hand," Khamenei added.

"We will not accept any offer for negotiations which goes together with force ... we will see and if you really change, then we will change as well. But the aims and not just the tactics should be changed," Khameinei added.

EDIT: It's funny because it's so fucking stupid. It's so fucking stupid because among the "real change" items he wants is to drop support of Israel.

:rofl:
