Iranian Supreme Leader tore the goodwill messages from the United States.
Ayatollah Khamenei said Iranians do not need greetings from the "Great Satan".
Iranian leader was speaking to a large crowd in Tehran. He said Iranians demand change of attitude from the Washington.
The crowd chanted "Death to America".
Iranian Parliament speaker said Washington has "always opposed" Iranians. It "sided with Saddam" in eight years with our country and "urged him" to launch attack on Iran. Now the "fine words" coming from U.S. are not enough. The problem we have with America is not an "emotional one" that can be resolved with soft kind words. United States has been "enemy of Iran for more than 30 years".
Dr Ali Larijani also slammed U.S. invasion of Iraq: "The Iraqi people suffered for a long under a tyrant Saddam Hussein and now the Americans should are playing that role. Americans had subjected Iraqis to harassment, pain and humiliation."
Iranian say they will not let U.S. establish ties on words alone.
