  • The surprising election of Hassan Rowhani, a moderate cleric, as Iran's president has prompted a wave of speculation about a critical question: Will Iran's new leadership be more willing to compromise on its nuclear program?

  • Iran's president-elect called his nation's strained relations with the United States "an old wound" that would take time to heal but signaled Monday that Tehran was ready to work to reduce tensions with Washington and the West.

  • Afghan President Hamid Karzai says his country's armed forces are taking over the lead for security around the country from the U.S.-led NATO coalition.

  • President Barack Obama said Monday that Iran's election of a relative moderate shows that the country's people want to change course. But he stressed that Tehran still needs to show the international community that it's not pursuing a nuclear weapon.

  • U.S. and South Korean officials will hold their third annual joint anti-bioterrorism exercise this week in Seoul, a sprawling mega-city of more than 10 million residents that some fear could someday become a target of an attack.

  • The Obama administration Monday lifted a veil of secrecy surrounding the status of the detainees at Guantanamo, for the first time publicly naming the four dozen captives it defined as indefinite detainees — men too dangerous to transfer but who cannot be tried in a court of law.
