Obama Wants Iran to Reduce Tensions
Made the statements in video for Iranians
US President Barack Obama has offered Iran a "practical solution" if it truly seeks peaceful nuclear capabilities rather than weapons.
In a video to the Iranian people, Mr Obama urged Iran to take "immediate and meaningful steps" to reduce tension with the international community.
He said Iranians had paid a "high and unnecessary price" for Tehran's "unwillingness" to satisfy concerns.
