Iran does not rule out direct talks with Washington but says they will not come overnight

Iran does not rule out direct talks with Washington but says they will not come overnight.
Judiciary chief Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani, did not rule out Tehran and Washington coming "to the negotiating table" one day but warned it would not happen "overnight." Larijani said on Wednesday that "relations with the United States are not simple."

"Four years ago, Barack Obama was elected on a platform for change and said he was extending his hand for cooperation with Iran, but he acted otherwise and unprecedented sanctions were imposed," Larijani said.
 
Obama has rallied US allies against Iran, toughening sanctions, with Tehran's oil exports and access to world financial systems being key targets.
