Obama and Rouhani make history with phone call, thawing three decade freeze between US and Iran
President Barack Obama revealed Friday that he talked with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, marking the first time leaders from the U.S. and Iran have directly communicated since the 1979 Iranian revolution.
"Just now I spoke on the phone with President Rouhani of the Islamic Republic of Iran," he said from the White House.
Rouhani has been engaged in a publicity blitz as of late, a streak that began with his sit-down with NBC News' Ann Curry last week. Rouhani spent the last few days at the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York, making a number of public addresses indicating that Iran was open to a deeper relationship with the U.S. and the West, and resolving conflict around his country's nuclear program.
"The two of us discussed our ongoing efforts to reach an agreement over Iran's nuclear program," Obama said. "I reiterated to President Rouhani what I said in New York: While there will surely be important obstacles to moving forward, and success is by no means guaranteed, I believe we can reach a comprehensive agreement."
The president noted that his conversation with Rouhani, which took place as the Iranian president headed to the airport, "underscores the deep mistrust between our countries, but also indicates the prospect of moving on that difficult history."
Ain't a Conk alive in the United States who has the courage to do something like this. Bitter old fucks who, because it is in their best financial interests (guns and oil in their portfolios.....), would perpetuate the decades of hate. Long way to go, but, again, President Obama, the standout U.S. leader of the past 33 years has started something that is nothing short of amazing. Peace-loving people (Progressives) everywhere, REJOICE!!!!
