Iran's new president, Hassan Rouhani, has said his government is determined to engage in "serious and substantive" negotiations with the west without wasting time in order to resolve the impasse over Tehran's nuclear programme.
Two days after he was sworn into office and in his first press conference, Rouhani also said on Tuesday that he was open to direct talks with the US, provided that Washington showed "goodwill" in action and put aside "hidden agendas" – an apparent reference to its perceived policy of regime change.
Rouhani's remarks followed a statement by the White House on Sunday, which said Tehran would find "a willing partner in the United States" should it choose to engage.
On the nuclear issue, the 64-year-old president said constructive dialogue and interaction could leave both sides in a "win-win" situation.
