TEHRAN (AFP) — Iran's foreign ministry said that a visit to the Islamic republic by members of the US Congress or Senate was "not on our agenda", it was reported.
"No plans for US congressmen or senators to visit Iran have been made and this sort of trip is not on our agenda," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi the official news agency IRNA reported.
His comments come a day after a US senator announced that a group of US congressional aides were to go to Iran in February on the first official US visit there since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
Senator Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, said the visit could set the stage for a later mission by US lawmakers.
