Qassemi made the statement in response to recent remarks by the Director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Brennan who claimed that Tehran and Washington are negotiating about a wide range of issues, according to IRNA.

CIA chief is not in a position to make irrelevant comments about Iran's internal affairs, Qassemi said in response to Brennan alledging that there is a
'tension' among Iranian officials.

Such comments by the US officials are aimed to 'create a psychological operation' to polarize the Iranian nation, the spokesman added.

He said that the Iranian people are intelligent enough to heed the statements of the US officials.
