Rouhani says U.S.-Iran ties could be restored but U.S. must apologize
November 12, 2015Reuters - The nuclear deal reached between world powers and Iran could lead to better relations between Tehran and Washington if the United States apologized for past behavior, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was quoted as saying on Thursday.
The pragmatist president, who championed the July 14 deal, has pushed for closer engagement with the West since his 2013 landslide election win.
"One day these embassies will re-open but what counts is behavior and the Americans hold the key to this," Rouhani told the newspaper ahead of a trip to Italy this weekend, his first to a European capital.
"If they modify their policies, correct errors committed in these 37 years and apologize to the Iranian people, the situation will change and good things can happen."
"The way this agreement is applied can have an impact on the future," Rouhani said in the interview."If it is well applied it can lay the foundation for fewer tensions with the United States, creating the conditions to open a new era. But if the Americans don't respect their part of the nuclear accord, then surely our relationship will remain as it has been in the past," he said.
