TEHRAN, July 13, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Iran's president-elect Masoud Pezeshkian said he looks forward to improved relations with Europe, even though he accused the continent of reneging on commitments to mitigate the impact of US sanctions.

"Despite these missteps, I look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue with European countries to set our relations on the right path, based on principles of mutual respect and equal footing," Pezeshkian wrote late Friday in the English-language Tehran Times newspaper.
