US must seize chance to ‘win trust’ of Iranians: Zarif

Iran’s foreign minister on Thursday called on the United States to “win the valuable trust” of Iranians after the “historic opportunity” created by Tehran’s nuclear agreement with world powers.

“It would be best to seize this historic opportunity to win the valuable trust of the Iranian people, which has been damaged through decades of hostile and wrong policies by the United States,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a statement.

He was speaking after President Barack Obama told US lawmakers on Wednesday that rejecting the nuclear deal would lead to war and destroy Washington’s credibility.
