Iran defiant as new nuclear talks near
Two letters, both written late last month, reflect Iran's apparent determination to continue the nuclear activities
Vienna – As Iran and world powers prepare for new nuclear talks, letters by Tehran's envoys to top international officials and shared with The Associated Press suggest major progress is unlikely, with Tehran combative and unlikely to offer any concessions.
Two letters, both written late last month, reflect Iran's apparent determination to continue the nuclear activities that have led to new rounds of UN, EU, and US sanctions in recent weeks over fears that Tehran might be seeking to develop nuclear arms.
The letters, provided to the AP by a European official on condition he not be named because of their confidential nature, address two sets of talks tentatively set to resume this autumn.
In one negotiation round, the US Russia, China, France Britain and Germany will again push for an Iranian commitment to freeze enrichment. The other will try to revive talks between Iran Washington, Paris and Moscow on a fuel swap.
