Rouhani says Iran will ‘of course’ talk to US if sanctions are lifted

NEW YORK — Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says Iran would “of course” hold talks with the United States if President Donald Trump lifted sanctions and ended his policy of maximum pressure on Tehran.

“If we reach a time when these preconditions are taken off the table, of course the possibility exists to talk with America,” Rouhani tells reporters in New York, a day after addressing the UN General Assembly.
