Excerpt:
Last week, Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi and Congressman John Dingell met to discuss U.S.- Iranian relations.
The discussion centered on the election of the new moderate Iranian president and the opening of a new chapter in the relationship between the two countries.
Elahi asked the Congressman to refer to his wisdom and experience to help improve U.S. relations with Iran. He pointed out President Obama's friendly messages to the Iranian people, over the last few years, and asked that the U.S. turn those words into actions and begin renewed diplomatic dialogue between "these two great nations."
