The president said the report issued by US intelligence community put seal of approval of on civilian nature of Iran's nuclear activities.

"Generally, we assess the move as 'positive' and believe that if they take another one or two steps forward, the situation would become different and the ground for resolve of regional conflicts will be well prepared."

On US objection to recent oil contract between Iran and China and the current level of ties between Tehran and Beijing, he said the US opposition is quite natural and "we do not heed them."

"We pay no attention to such views and we are confident in pursuing our path," underlined the president.
