Obama To Address Iran, Syria In UN Speech
NEW YORK (AP) — President Barack Obama is expected to signal his willingness to engage with the new Iranian government if Tehran makes nuclear concessions long sought by the U.S. and Western allies.
Obama will address the United Nations General Assembly this morning. He'll also call on U.N. Security Council members to approve a resolution that would mandate consequences for Syria if it fails to cooperate with a plan to turn its chemical weapons stockpiles over to the international community.
The president's address will be closely watched for signs that he may meet later in the day with Iranian President Hasan Rouhani (hah-SAHN' roh-HAH'-nee), a moderate cleric who has been making friendly gestures toward the U.S. in recent weeks.
