The United States does not need to adjust its attitude toward Iran, but rather Tehran must play a constructive role in the Middle East, the White House said on Tuesday.
"I don't think this is about a US attitude adjustment," said Gordon Johndroe, spokesman for the White House National Security Council. "The collective attitude of the world is that Iran needs to play a constructive role in the region, not meddle in Iraq, and stop its enrichment activities," Johndroe said that leaders of Britain and Iraq had expressed similar sentiments, "and President (George W.) Bush has made his position clear."
