UNITED NATIONS (Dispatches) -- Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations said Monday the United States should stop its hostility toward Iran and recognize the Islamic Republic as a regional power in order to improve its image in the eyes of its own and world people.
"Americans must stop hostility toward Iran and understand that Iran is a definite reality and a powerful country in the region, which intends to live in peace with its neighbors within framework of the international law,” he told IRNA. "U.S. leaders must realize that their policies have backfired.”
