US must change behavior to establish ties with Iran: Iran

Category: Political

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Araqchi says the potential establishment of relations between Tehran and Washington requires “serious changes” in US policies and approaches.

“Nice words and pleasing statements alone do not suffice… What constitutes the criterion for us to change our view of the interaction [between the US and Iran] is the United States’ actual behavior,” Araqchi said during his weekly press conference in Tehran on Tuesday.
Iran is “awaiting practical measures and serious changes in policies as well as the adoption of new approaches” by the US, the Iranian official added. 

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman also described as “a positive matter” the willingness of many countries, including Western and European ones, to hold talks with Iran.

The US has sent a letter to Iran regarding its threatened closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the foreign ministry spokesman said yesterday, without revealing the letter’s contents.
“The US ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, sent a letter to Mohamed Khazaie, Iran’s UN representative, which was conveyed by the Swiss ambassador, and finally Iraqi President Jalal Talabani delivered its contents to officials” in Iran, the official Irna news agency quoted Ramin

Mehmanparast as saying.
“We are in the process of studying the letter and if necessary we will respond.”
The US has had no diplomatic relations with Iran since shortly after the 1979 Islamic revolution, and Swiss diplomats handle US interests there.
