"   US President Barack Obama's offer to talk to Iran shows that
America's policy of "domination" has failed, the government spokesman
said on Saturday.
"This request means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist
thought and the system of domination have failed," Gholam Hossein Elham
was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.
"Negotiation is secondary, the main issue is that there is no way but
for (the United States) to change," he added.
After nearly three decades of severed ties, Obama said shortly after
taking office this month that he is willing to extend a diplomatic hand
to Tehran if the Islamic republic is ready to "unclench its fist".
In response, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched a fresh
tirade against the United States, demanding an apology for its "crimes"
against Iran and saying he expected "deep and fundamental" change from
Obama.
Iranian politicians frequently refer to the US administration as the
"global arrogance", "domineering power" and "Great Satan".
Tensions with the United States have soared over Iran's nuclear drive
and Ahmadinejad's vitriolic verbal attacks against Washington's close
regional ally Israel.
Former US president George W. Bush refused to hold talks with the
Islamic republic -- which he dubbed part of an "axis of evil" -- unless
it suspended uranium enrichment, and never took a military option to
thwart Tehran's atomic drive off the table.
The new administration of Obama has also refused to rule out any options
-- including military strikes -- to stop Tehran from acquiring a nuclear
weapon.
Iran denies any plans to build the bomb and insists its nuclear
programme is solely aimed at peaceful ends."
