Washington - President Clinton has no plans to send a special envoy to Tehran, the White House said yesterday, dismissing a report that an envoy had been sent. A spokesman said a reported visit by Congressman Tom Lantos, a California Democrat, was "news to us".
The official news agency of the United Arab Emirates had quoted informed sources as saying Mr Clinton sent Mr Lantos to look into possible changes in Iranian foreign policy since the election of President Mohammad Khatami in May.
