TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran's president said Wednesday he is willing to build a new relationship with the United States, adding that he is preparing new proposals aimed at breaking the impasse with the West over his country's nuclear program.
The speech by hard-liner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took an unusually conciliatory tone at a time when President Barack Obama's administration has signaled it wants to reach out to Iran and start a dialogue. It was the latest indication that both countries are searching for a formula to begin talks, though there have been no concrete breakthroughs yet.
"The Iranian nation is a generous nation. It may forget the past and start a new era, but any country speaking on the basis of selfishness will get the same response the Iranian nation gave to Mr. Bush," Ahmadinejad told thousands in the southeastern city of Kerman.Article continued at http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D97IUEO80&show_article=1&catnum=0
