TEHRAN, Iran — An Iranian news agency says President Barack Obama and Iran’s foreign minister shook hands when they ran into one another on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
Tuesday’s report by the official IRNA agency quotes an unnamed diplomatic official as saying Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif came upon Obama “accidentally†and the two shook hands.
A White House official confirmed this Tuesday, saying “there was a brief interaction at the luncheon, where they shook hands.†This official spoke on grounds of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
It represented the first handshake between an American president and Iran’s top diplomat since the 1979 Islamic Revolution ousted a pro-Western monarchy in Iran. The two countries have had no diplomatic relations since then.
Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani spoke over the phone as Rouhani was leaving the UN in 2013 after his presidential debut at the General Assembly.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

BTW : Husain was martyred : Obama just may follow suit
Hussain is the Arabic equivalent of Shubayr in Hebrew.
Shubayr was the name of the second son of Aaron, the successor of Moses (PBUH).

I think there is no way it was accidental and also this was made into a political story and made to seem like it was done in a way by mistake, when it was not that that way and done in a friendly way. It is something that both countries need to not take this as something serious and, they need to see it as a friendly gesture and not get too worked up over this gesture. I think better relations can happen later on and will take a lot of work and also this can lead to, a productive and business relationship as well which can be beneficial as well in the process.
