US Republicans want to monitor Iranian elections

Mike Pompeo, Lee Zeldin and Frank LoBiondo hand-delivered visa applications to the Iranian Interests Section in Washington, along with a personal letter addressed to the Iranian Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in which they said "we look forward to seeing Iranian democracy in action", CNS News reported.

"If Iran is truly a partner in peace, as President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry claim, then Iranian leaders should have no problem granting our visas and arranging the requested agenda," said Pompeo.

The congressmen also want to visit nuclear sites, meet with the country’s revolutionary guard and other officials, as well as receive a briefing on Iran’s missile tests.
