Iran's foreign minister said Thursday that Tehran would be "cooperative" in response to changes in U.S. policy, following the revelation that U.S. President Barack Obama's team is drafting a landmark letter to the Islamic Republic aimed at thawing a three-decade freeze in relations, the Guardian reports Friday.
Manouchehr Mottaki, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, hedged his response by saying that Obama would have to change Washington's policy in the Middle East, "not in saying but in practice".
If that happened, he said, the new administration would definitely find "a cooperative approach and reaction" from the region, and from Iran in particular.
