Barack Obama, Us-iran Relations | featured news

Speaking before the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Mr. Obama reiterated that he would not tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran.

President Barack Obama on Friday strongly condemned comments by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that implied a U.S. government role in the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Saturday the September 11, 2001 attacks were exaggerated in a fresh broadside at the United States just days after President Barack Obama voiced willingness to talk to Iran.

Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says he is willing to meet US President Barack Obama for "face-to-face" talks in front of the media.

President Obama has let Iran know that it faces an arsenal of sanctions if it fails to completely disclose the nature of its nuclear program and ambitions.

Iranian president calls on Obama not to interfere after remarks by U.S. leader.

Obama blasted allegations of some in the Iranian government that the United States is "instigating protests" as "patently false and absurd." The accusations "are an obvious attempt to distract people from what is truly taking place within Iran's borders," Obama said.

Ali Larijani, the speaker of Iran’s parliament, characterized President Obama’s videotaped message as inadequate to address the issues between the two countries.

It was a broad lesson in the mind-set of Iran's all-powerful theocracy and how it will dictate the pace and tone of any new steps by Obama to chip away at their nearly 30-year diplomatic freeze.

Iran's most powerful figure today dismissed President Obama's extraordinary Persian New Year gesture, insisting that the U.S. administration's actions must match its rhetoric before Iran would alter its foreign policy stances.
