The head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards force this afternoon welcomed president Hassan Rouhani's address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week but said his telephone call with U.S. President Barack Obama came too soon.
"It was better that no time was given for a face-to-face meeting with Obama and he (Rouhani) should have turned down a phone conversation until after the American government has shown its sincerity (towards Iran)," Mohammad Ali Jafari, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, told Tasnim news agency.
