Tehran abandons talks with US over Iraq, F.T. London
By Steve Negus
"Iran on Monday called off talks between Tehran and Washington aimed at improving security in Iraq, describing the dialogue as meaningless."
"A statement by the Iranian foreign ministry, in effect, puts on hold any meetings between the two countries, which last year held three rounds of talks in Baghdad, easing a diplomatic freeze dating back almost three decades."
"Mohammad Ali Hosseini, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesman, said that continuing talks with the US over Iraqi security “makes no sense” so long as the US military was attacking residential areas in Sadr City, a neighbourhood in Baghdad that is a stronghold of the Mahdi army, a Shia militia."
