UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Iran said on Wednesday it was ready to consider a
U.S. diplomatic presence in Tehran and called for direct flights between the
two countries, nearly three decades after Washington severed ties with Iran.
Speaking to reporters during a visit to the United Nations, Iranian Foreign
Minister Manouchehr Mottaki also accused Washington of putting unfair
restrictions on Iranian media representatives who want to work in the United
States.
