Iran warns of 'destructive' influence on diplomacy ahead of Netanyahu's US trip
Iran warned Tuesday of "destructive" influence on diplomacy ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington for talks expected to focus on U.S. negotiations with Tehran.
"Our negotiating party is America. It is up to America to decide to act independently of the pressures and destructive influences that are detrimental to the region," said Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei in a weekly press briefing.
"The Zionist regime has repeatedly, as a saboteur, shown that it opposes any diplomatic process in our region that leads to peace."
Netanyahu will meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington Wednesday, seeking to press him to adopt a tougher line on Iran's ballistic missile program.
