The US president has reiterated his administration's offer of dialogue with Iran, but said that Tehran's leaders had "turned their backs" on previous overtures.
In a video broadcast on the internet on Saturday, Barack Obama also pledges to ensure that Iranians can get better access to the web without censorship.
"Even as we continue to have differences with the Iranian government, we will sustain our commitment to a more hopeful future for the Iranian people," Obama said in the video.
He told Iranians that "our offer of comprehensive diplomatic contacts and dialogue stands".
"Over the course of the last year, it is the Iranian government that has chosen to isolate itself, and to choose a self-defeating focus on the past over a commitment to build a better future."
