Iran president: Nation wants foreign policy change

Iran's new president said Saturday that his countrymen elected him to change the country's foreign policy and shift away from the bombastic style adopted under his predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Hasan Rouhani said his government will adjust its tactics to reach out to world powers. But he said the Islamic Republic will retain its principles. "We don't have the right to use foreign policy to chant slogans or clap," Rouhani said. (AP)
