Answering a list of questions by the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Price stated that significant potentials exist for Tehran-Washington regional cooperation as both capitals have interests in the Middle East region.

He reiterated that it would be a big mistake if the Obama administration did not seize the opportunity of resolving concerns regarding Iran's peaceful nuclear program after the new Iranian president Hassan Rohani stepped into office on August 5.

Moreover, Price pointed out that the letter showed bipartisan support for diplomacy towards Iran.
