From CNN: President Barack Obama reached out to Iran on Friday — the start of the Iranian New Year — in a video message offering "the promise of a new beginning" that is "grounded in mutual respect."

Obama’s message to Iran echoes his inaugural speech, where he said "we seek a new way forward." The message is a dramatic shift in tone from that of the Bush administration, which included Iran, along with North Korea and Iraq, in an "axis of evil." It also echoes Obama’s inaugural speech, in which he said to the Muslim world, "we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.

In Friday’s video, Obama said: "The United States wants the Islamic Republic of Iran to take its rightful place in the community of nations.

And that place cannot be reached through terror or arms, but rather through peaceful actions that demonstrate the true greatness of the Iranian people and civilization."

There was no immediate response from Tehran to Obama’s message…
