From AFI-Adnkronos:
Ankara, 17 Nov. (AKI) - Iran will not obstruct Turkey's mediation between the US and Iran, according to an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hassan Qashqavi. Reacting to remarks made by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday to a US daily that Turkey was ready to mediate between both countries, Qashqavi said: "We think the comments ... stem from Turkish goodwill and good and growing neighbourly ties between Iran and Turkey, so we will certainly not raise any obstacles."
"But the reality is that the issue and problems between Iran and the United states go beyond the usual political problems between two countries," warned Qashqavi.
Washington has not had diplomatic relations with Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, when university students loyal to Ayatollah Khomeini took over the US embassy and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days.

My Comment: U.S.- Iran relations will not change until the internal regime in Iran changes .... and that is not going to happen for a long time.
