The Iranian Parliament Speaker attacked U.S. President, Barack Obama, saying he is no better than George Bush.
"After a year of speeches and unfounded slogans, it's a disgrace to see that the President's attitude and behavior are not better than his predecessor," said Ali Larijani to the parliament.
U.S. steps to renew sanctions and seize a New York skyscraper linked to Iran show that President Barack Obama is no better than his predecessor George W. Bush, the Iranian parliament speaker said on Sunday.
Larijani's statement, which was followed by chants of "Death to America" among MPs in the legislature, was the latest from Tehran voicing disappointment in the new U.S. administration's policies toward the Islamic Republic.
