Iran's speaker rules out possibility of talks with US

Tehran, June 22 : Iran's parliament speaker ruled out the likelihood of any talks with the United States over the existing thorny issues.

Iran is not opposed to diplomacy and negotiations, but negotiations with the United States "are strictly forbidden and detrimental."
