Iranian Lawmaker Says US Must Back Rhetoric With Action

Says lifting sanctions could help

TEHRAN, March 27 (UPI) -- The U.S. government must back its rhetoric with action if it wants to open communication with Iran, a senior Iranian legislator said.

The U.S. government is party to multilateral talks with Iran as a permanent U.N. Security Council member. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said last week "there is an opportunity to work diplomatically to reduce tensions and address the mistrust between our two countries, to the mutual benefit of both of our people."
