Obama Nowruz message: Iran must 'reduce nuclear tension'
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.
Mr Obama's message marked the Persian new year, Nowruz.
