BELGRADE - Iran's supreme leader reiterated his call to mistrust the US, saying talks with Washington would be futile as it is in deep crisis now and cannot solve other nations' problems. It comes as Tehran marks the anniversary of the US Embassy siege in 1979.

The Middle East is in a mess; there is no argument about that. The most popular word these days is Sykes-Picot, the agreement that shaped the region, defining the borders of Iraq and Syria. 

The United States announced Aug. 24 it has "no intention" to reopen an embassy in Tehran, just one day after the United Kingdom reopened its diplomatic mission in the Iranian capital.

?I?ll ask you something completely besides politics: Do you think Ayatollah Khomeini was a good person in his heart?? I ask Hamed, a harsh anti-regime academician.

With a sad voice, he replied: ?I don?t know. There is this love letter he wrote to his wife. Your and I could never write with such depth??

Iranians are a different kind.

The great Persian civilization?
