{{Iran’s president-elect Hassan Rouhani has promised a more conciliatory tone over the country’s nuclear programme, saying Iran needs a cautious approach in its foreign policy.}}
In a live address on state TV on Saturday, Rouhani said that Iran was after “dialogue and interaction with others from an equal position, based on mutual respect and interests”.
He also warned the country would develop relations with others only if Tehran’s interests were respected.
Media said Rouhani also warned regional countries not to miscalculate Iran’s power, saying some rival nations were now paying the cost.
“International relations with others are based on respect, mutual interest and equality. We should reduce tensions, increase confidence-building, while keeping our rights and national dignity in consideration.”
