According to Ahlul Bayt (A) News Agency – ABNA.ir – Speaking at the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday, Obama said, "The United States and the international community seek a resolution to our differences with Iran. "
Obama's comments come while the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has in different reports confirmed the non-diversion of Iran's peaceful nuclear program.
Iran signed a nuclear declaration with Turkey and Brazil in May as a diplomatic effort to solve the standoff with the West over its peaceful nuclear activities case.
Tehran announced in September that it was ready to resume talks on the nuclear issue, but stressed that any negotiations must be conducted within the framework of the Tehran Declaration.
Obama's call for diplomacy on Iran comes as major world powers have also urged resumption of talks with Iran over its nuclear issue.
Foreign ministers of the P5+1 — China, France, Russia, Britain and the US plus Germany — said in a statement on Wednesday that they seek a "long-term negotiated solution" to Iran's nuclear issue.
