Iran parliament to hold meeting on Kurd vote
Iran's parliament will hold a closed-door meeting on Wednesday on the referendum in Iraq's Kurdish area, in which lawmakers will receive a briefing about Monday's vote.
The meeting comes as parliament speaker Ali Larijani on Tuesday criticized the vote. State television quoted him as saying there are "elements ... making provocations" in Iraq's Kurdish region.
Thousands of Iranian Kurds demonstrated into the early morning Tuesday to celebrate the vote.
