“No thanks” is the message American-Iranian Jews delivered to new Iranian government headed by President Hassan Rohani, after the regime sent the Iranian American Jewish Federation received an official invitation to meet with him in New York.

The meeting also would have included Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Zarif and the only Jewish Iranian Member of Parliament, Siamak Moreh Sedgh.

The Iranian officials are in New York for this week’s United Nations General Assembly, where Rohani will speak at the same time that the Israeli delegation will make sure not to be present.
