"No Change" in U.S. policy toward Iran?


Supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei clarifies his point that the US's policy hadn't change even though America's new president had promised it would. He states that Obama had promised "new beginnings", and in result so will Iran. But Khamenei argues that based on the current progress and policy, he wonders how the fulfillment of "Honest and grounded mutual respect" would be applied. There have also been complaints about having almost absolutely no fluctuation in viewing the country of Iran. They say that Barack Obama and the old Bush Administration were no different, especially in viewing Iran as the "axis of evil". And of course having doubts between nations would obviously result in poor negotiations. Also supreme leader Khamenei was happy to announce that the world cannot stop Iran from their research in "nuclear progress" and that it'll prevail. He said they were one of their "joyful developments". So did Obama's policy really hadn't change nor differ from Bush's? Or was this just considered an excuse for Iran? Will this affect the Iranians attitude towards their research in Nuclear Power and other resources & establishment that could relate to us?
