UNITED NATIONS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 26th September, 2018) US Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook will host in New York City this week representatives of the Iranian diaspora, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said.

"This week, our new Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook will meet with the members of Iranian diaspora here in New York," Pompeo said on Tuesday.

Pompeo explained that the United States aims to let Iranians share their personal stories and express views on politics in their country.

This kind of conversations will continue to send a clear message to the Iranian government on whose side is Washington, Pompeo said.

Pompeo emphasized that the United States supports the people of Iran and believes they deserve better than a "fruitless revolution" as the country remains in the hands of corrupt leaders.

Earlier on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said at the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly that he would meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani but only if Tehran changes its ways.

Trump added that Iran so far continues its malicious activities and talks are not possible under these circumstances.
