Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that despite the change in rhetoric in Washington, there have been no practical shifts in US policy towards Iran, Tasnim reported.

During a speech at the ceremony, Rouhani commented on the steps taken by the United States against Iran under former President Donald Trump.

We have not seen goodwill from the new US administration, he noted adding that the rhetoric has changed, but there have been no changes in practice.

He noted that if the new administration in Washington is sincere in its slogans, then it should immediately start a new path and catch up.

Rouhani added that no one in the world doubts that the economic war with Iran and the policy of putting pressure on the Iranian people have failed, and called on Washington to change its approach to Iran.
