Iran's new president now says his country is ready for serious talks with world powers over the nation's controversial nuclear program.
Two days into his job, Hasan Rouhani said his government hoped that talks with the West could begin without wasting time.
"We are ready, seriously and without wasting time, to engage in serious and substantial talks with other parties. If the other party has the same level of readiness, then I am confident that the concerns of both sides will be removed through dialogue within a period that will not be very long."
However Rouhani has also insisted that uranium enrichment activities in Iran are a right granted by international law.
