WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says Iran’s election of a relative moderate shows that the country’s people “want to move in a different direction.” But he says Tehran still needs to show the international community that it is not pursuing a nuclear weapon.

Obama says in an interview with PBS’ Charlie Rose airing Monday night that Iranian voters “rebuffed the hardliners” in the election by voting for cleric Hasan Rowhani. But he says the U.S. is not prepared to talk to the Iranian government immediately.
