DHAKA: US president Barack Obama is eager to ‘turn a new page’ in his government’s relations with Iran and its newly installed president, Hassan Rohani.

It was revealed on Tuesday, reports The Jerusalem Post.

According to the London-based pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat, Obama communicated his message to the Tehran regime through an emissary, the ruler of Oman, Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said.
