Iran denies US claims of meeting

The article I read about Iran and the US meeting, was previous to this. It actually made me happy, but then I see this and I really don’t understand why Iran is so hesitant to open up talks with the US now that the US is willing to be friends.  Well not friends, but not enemies either.

Modern Architecture in Iran

I found this video while randomly searching through youtube. I found it rather interesting because even though it is modern, it still has a lot of the elements of old Persian architecture, especially if you notice the stairs to the roof, such as was the case in Yazd. Also the water pond in the centre of the home to act as a cooling system. It also contains one of my favourite things about Persian architecture which is the use of geometry and angles. Enjoy!
