Iran's parliament speaker, Ali Larijani, has criticized U.S. President Barack Obama, arguing that his promise to change U.S. policy toward Tehran amounts to nothing.
Speaker Larijani said after a year of U.S. President Barack Obama's speeches and slogans, it is a "disgrace" the U.S. president's actions are the same as his predecessor.
Larijani argued two actions last week showed that little had changed in U.S. policy since the presidency of George W. Bush. The Iranian lawmaker decried the extension of U.S. sanctions against Iran for another year.
