Iran’s Foreign Ministry has for the first time invited representatives from the United States and the European Union to attend the inauguration ceremony of its new president, the ISNA news agency reported Sunday.
President-elect Hassan Rohani, who won a little more than half the vote in a six-way race on June 14, is to be sworn in on August 4.
Rohani has pledged to follow a “path of moderation” and promised greater openness over the country’s nuclear program, which has placed it at odds with the West.
