Iranian MP, Alaeddin Boroujerdi.
An Iranian MP says a change in Tehran's attitude towards US depends on the American administration's policies and the way it deals with Iran.

“We cannot expect a fundamental change in the White House' attitude towards Iran but a (potential) change depends on Obama himself,” said the head of Iran's Parliamentary Commission for National Security and Foreign Policy Alaeddin Boroujerdi.

Iran's government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham said on Wednesday that the time has come for Barack Obama to fulfill his promises with respect to changing US policy.

Democrat Barack Obama defeated his Republican rival John McCain at the polls on November 4, to become the president-elect and successor to the Oval Office.

Presdient-elect Obama, who had made 'Change We Need' as his campaign slogan, has promised to make a change for the better in the United States and the world.

He also said during his campaign that he intended to hold high-level talks without preconditions with officials of the Iranian government.

Referring to previous requests from different US officials to negotiate with Iran, Boroujerdi said “they make these requests but at the same time struggle to overthrow the Iranian administration.”
