Iran won't go to London
Iran's official news agency says the Islamic republic is unlikely to participate in a London-based conference tomorrow on its neighbor Afghanistan.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told the agency yesterday that the conference will not be able "to help solve Afghanistan's problems." He said the presence of foreign forces in Afghanistan is part of the problem since they cannot control terrorism there.
