Tehran’s provisional Friday Prayers leader Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said the United States’ efforts to get rid of its humiliating situation in Iraq and Afghanistan would lead to nowhere unless it revises its wrong policies and attracts Iran’s positive view and assistance.

During the trilateral talks, the United States accepted its errors in Iraq and it should now make up for them, Iran’s Ambassador to Iraq and head of the Iranian delegation in talks with the US over Iraq said.

Iran and Iraq will sign a deal in the next few days to build a pipeline that would transfer crude from southern Iraqi oilfields to refineries in Iran, a senior Iranian official said yesterday.
