TEHERAN - The new government of ultra-conservative Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday ruled out any resumption of ties with the United States and said it would never have relations with Israel. âThe programme for domestic and foreign policy (foresees) active and healthy relations with all governments but never with the usurper regime in Qods (Jerusalem) and not with the American regime so long it fails to respect the greatness and interests of the Iranian people.â
But the programme said the new government did intend to âcontinue the policy of detenteâ begun by reformist former president Mohammad Khatami, according to state news agency reports. Under the government manifesto, Iran will give âpriority to a regional vision in international relations and priority to the Islamic world, countries of the Persian Gulf, the Caspian Sea, Central Asia and the Pacific in its political, economic and cultural relations.â
