News.net quotes Former Congressman Jim Slattery about his recent visit to Iran from Atlantic Council event:
“The Iranians are deeply concerned about respect, the one thing they yearn for is respect,” Jim Slattery, 66, said at a presentation at the Atlantic Council think-tank.
His Iranian hosts, he said, assured Slattery he was the first US lawmaker invited to the country since the Islamic Revolution ousted the Washington-backed shah.
