Reuters: U.S. ties better but 'still a long road to travel': Iran's Rouhani
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Friday said ties with the United States had improved, though there was "still a long road to travel" before the two estranged nations could have normal relations.
"The situation has certainly changed," Rouhani, in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, told a group of senior editors from media organizations at a nearby hotel. "We can point to the tangibles, the many steps forward, but there is still a long road to travel."
He described the historic nuclear deal between Iran and the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China as a "big test" for U.S.-Iranian relations and said that it was important to create an atmosphere of trust.
