Iran says Solana asks for continuation of nuclear talks

By Xinhua,

Tehran : The Secretariat of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) announced here on Friday that EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana in his response letter to Iran’s top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili asked for continuation of talks with Iran, the official IRNA news agency reported.

Solana said in the letter which was delivered to Iran’s embassy in Brussels on Thursday as a response to the letter addressed to him by Jalili recently that questions posed by Iran regarding 5+1 countries’ proposals are comprehensible.

He said that the 5+1 countries and himself are committed to seek a diplomatic solution to the problem as before.

He also asked for continuation of talks aimed at clarification of the few remaining ambiguities regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

Jalili sent a letter to Solana which discloses Iran’s stance on the West’s behavior towards Iran’s nuclear activities in October.

“The lack of civilization of dialogue has led some powers to adopt pressure means instead of logic,” the letter said, adding that “Iran’s proposal of disarmament and non-proliferation is not pleasing for the powers who have been generating such arms for years.”

On June 14, Solana handed an offer of incentives to the Iranian authorities on behalf of six major powers of Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States during his visit to Tehran in a bid to persuade Iran to halt uranium enrichment.

Recently, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 1835 to reaffirm its previous resolutions on Iran and demand full compliance from the Islamic Republic.

It called on Iran, which till now has been under three UN sanctions over its disputed nuclear program, “to comply fully and without delay with its obligations” and to meet the requirements of the IAEA Board of Governors, but without new sanctions.
