TEHRAN, Iran
(AP) -- Former top U.S. diplomat Jeffrey Feltman has arrived in Iran for
talks on Syria and Egypt, his second visit to Tehran in a year as top
U.N. envoy.
Feltman is now the U.N.
Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs. He previously served as
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs until May of
last year.
Iran's state TV showed Feltman
meeting Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, saying the two
discussed regional issues including Syria.
Feltman
visited Iran last September, accompanying U.N. Secretary-General Ban
Ki-Moon to a non-aligned movement summit in Tehran. He is the
highest-ranking American diplomat to visit Iran since the 1979 Islamic
revolution toppled the pro-Western Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and
brought clerics to power.
