Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad, the president of Iran, struck a conciliatory note on the incoming Obama administration on Thursday, signalling that Tehran would welcome closer relations with Washington if the US shifted its approach.
“If there [are] fundamental changes based on justice and respect [towards Iran] then positive things will automatically happen,” Mr Ahmadi-Nejad told a press conference. “We always welcome dialogue and relations.”
Without making any specific comments about Barack Obama, the president-elect, he said Iran was “patiently” monitoring events and waiting for changes.
