Political Barbs Welcome an Iranian Visiting France

"Mr. Rowhani, who is on a three-day visit to France, strongly defended Iran's electoral process, saying, 'In the course of the last 25 years, Iran has accumulated enough experience concerning the democratic process.'

Without singling out France, he rejected what he called 'the interference of any country in the internal affairs of our county.'

He was specific, though, about criticism coming from Washington. 'The United States never speaks uniquely out of its concern for the future of the Iranian people,' Mr. Rowhani said. 'It pursues its own interest and tries to show hostility toward the Iranian people.'

He added, 'The last American presidential elections, which took place in truly catastrophic and dramatic conditions, do not allow the United States to talk about elections in other countries.'"
