LONDON, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Iran's president has an "unrestricted mandate" to resolve its nuclear standoff, Vice President Massoumeh Ebtekar said in a British newspaper op-ed.
Ebtekar said newly elected President Hassan Rouhani has the support of a clear majority of Iranians to engage in diplomatic dialogue with the West to resolve the long-simmering tensions related to Iran's highly controversial nuclear enrichment program.
