TEHRAN, Sep. 21 (MNA) Rouhani's recent comments, including the one that his country will not develop nuclear weapons, have been "very positive" but everything needs to be put to "the test", U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said.
"I think Rouhani's comments have been very positive, but everything needs to be put to the test," Kerry told reporters at the State Department headquarters, when asked about the new statements coming from Tehran.

"We'll see where we go. At the right moment, I think the White House and the State Department will make clear where we're headed," Kerry said in response to a question.

In an interview to the NBC news channel aired Thursday, Rouhani said "under no circumstances would we seek any weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, nor will we ever."
In the interview, the Iranian president talked about peace in the region and war.

"What we wish for in this region is rule by the will of the people. We believe in the ballot box. We do not seek war with any country. We seek peace and friendship among the nations of the region," he said.
