Obama calls for serious dialogue with Iran
US PRESIDENT Barack Obama called for ``serious dialogue'' with Iran to prevent a ``nuclear arms race in the Middle East'' after talks with chancellor Angela Merkel in Dresden yesterday.
The US has said that Iran is not serious in having dialogue with the international community on nuclear issue, a day after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he was willing to have a face-to-face meeting with US President Barack Obama on this issue.
