Olive branch to the mullahs: Obama won't rule out embassy in TEHRAN but says the Iranian capital is a country – not a city
Interview was conducted in the Oval Office the day after Obama said he would normalize relations with Cuba – but held back for 11 days
Embassy in Tehran would be the first since 1979 hostage crisis, which Iranians still celebrate as the 'Conquest of the American Spy Den'
Obama said if Iran proves it's not seeking nuclear weapons, it would become a 'very successful regional power'
Claimed credit for isolating Tehran through economic sanctions
