European Parliament delegation to visit Iran

A delegation of the European Parliament will visit Iran this autumn, the spokesman for the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Kazem Jalali said, Trend reports.

Mr Jalali, however, could not specify the exact time of the visit. He expressed his hope that the delegation would consider all the processes taking place in Iran, listen to the official Iranian point of view and soften its hard stance against the country.

According to Jalali, some forces connected to the Iranian opposition have been influencing the judgement of the European Parliament and promoting a negative image of Iran there.
