Bad Iran - no hot dogs

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States said it has rescinded invitations to Iranian diplomats to attend July 4 parties at US embassies, following the violent suppression of protests in Iran.

"Unfortunately, circumstances have changed, and participation by Iranian diplomats would not be appropriate in light of the unjust actions that the president and I have condemned," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a cable to US diplomatic mission abroad.

Early this month, before Iran's disputed June 12 presidential elections, Clinton had sent US diplomats instructions to invite Iranians to the Independence Day celebrations in a bit of "hot dog" diplomacy aimed at engaging Tehran.

But the administration has been heavily criticized for not acting decisively enough in condemning the Iranian regime in the wake of a bloody crackdown on anti-government protests.

The State Department said the new cable sent out under Clinton's name directed the diplomatic missions "to rescind all invitations that have been extended to Iranian diplomats for July 4th events."
