Iran’s new president Hassan Rouhani has made it clear his government is ready for serious talks with the United States, in a move that could break the stalemate over the nuclear issue.

At his first news conference in Tehran he said: ‘We are ready for serious and substantive discussions. If the other side is also similarly ready to talk, I am confident that the concerns from both sides through discussion can be resolved’.

The moderate cleric won a landslide victory in June’s presidential elections, replacing hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
