This is not the correct time for him to go Iran when the west and middle east countries are trying to impose sanctions on the country.

Stan Sunday, 13 May 2018 08:31 PM

The only western countries wanting to sanction Iran are Israel, the US and it's non western Sunni allies

You should know that this is not a good time to go to Iran.

Jerry Sunday, 13 May 2018 07:22 PM

MS you and your goons are wasting tax paying money of the people taking these trips. You have nothing to offer them nor would be able to understand their political strategies.You were inJapan UK recently so what is your urgency in going to Iran.You are involved with many corrupt deals with your son in law and your goons. You should be charged for these crimes. Regretably, the PM has no courage and firmness questioning your motives for these acts.The country is is dire straits economically and politically for you to go around showing your sarong and bearing gifts on these visits.
