Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says he wants to reach a deal with world powers on Tehran's nuclear programme in three to six months.

伊朗总统哈桑·鲁哈尼称，他想与世界强国就核问题在三至六月以内达成协议。

He told the Washington Post he saw a resolution of the issue as a "beginning point" in easing US-Iran relations.

Mr Rouhani said he was fully empowered by Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, to negotiate on the issue.

On Thursday, Iran will hold talks with the P5+1 group of world powers on Tehran's uranium enrichment programme.

In a rare encounter between US and Iranian officials, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will meet US Secretary of State John Kerry as well as diplomats from the UK, France, Russia, China and Germany in New York.

President Rouhani has been in New York this week for the UN General Assembly, and has been giving interviews to US media.

Iranian media has accused CNN of "distorting" comments he made in answer to a question about the Holocaust.

'Everything is possible'

Asked about a timeframe for resolving the nuclear issue, President Rouhani told the Washington Post: "The only way forward is for a timeline to be inserted into the negotiations that is short.

"The shorter it is the more beneficial it is to everyone. If it's three months that would be Iran's choice, if it's six months that's still good. It's a question of months not years."

Despite years of hostility between the US and Iran, Mr Rouhani said that if he and President Barack Obama got together they would both be "looking at the future".

"The notes and letters and exchanges between us are in that direction, and they will continue," he said.


"We need a beginning point. I think that is the nuclear issue."
