(AP) - READY TO RECONNECT: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told world leaders Thursday his country is ready to do business and honor a deal to curb its nuclear program, indicating Tehran's willingness to engage the global community.

BIG DRAW: Rouhani claimed the spotlight Thursday at the annual World Economic Forum as the event coincided with the lifting of some international sanctions on Iran. He said Iran's economy "has the potential to be among the world's top 10 in the next three decades."

ANOTHER TAKE: But Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, also attending the weeklong gathering in Davos, told the forum in a speech that Iran is a concern for many Arab governments, just as it is for Israel.
