President Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani broke more than three decades of silence between their offices as they spoke by phone on Friday.
Obama confirmed the call while speaking in the White House briefing room, and Rouhani tweeted about the call moments before Obama spoke.
Though Obama and Rouhani were unable to meet face-to-face earlier this week at the United Nations, their call Friday did give the president hope that U.S. and Iran will be able to work together to resolve tensions over Tehran?s nuclear program. ?I believe we can reach a comprehensive solution,? Obama said.
