Tehran hints at desire to end Nuclear impasse
Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi says a way must be
found to end the standoff between Tehran and the international
community over the Islamic republic's nuclear program, Radio
Liberty reported.
Quoted by ISNA on December 17, Salehi said the two sides have
"reached a conclusion" that they must exit the current
stalemate.
Salehi offered no new initiatives for ending the deadlock and made
no announcement on when talks between Iran and six world powers,
dubbed the P5+1, might resume.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the United States
is ready to resume talks with Iran, so long as Tehran is "serious"
about negotiations.
Reports have suggested new talks could occur in December or
January.
A meeting in June in Moscow failed to result in a breakthrough.
Iran denies seeking to develop a nuclear weapons capability.
Four rounds of United Nations sanctions have been aimed at
convincing Tehran to discontinue sensitive nuclear work, and the
UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has accused Iran of
covert nuclear weapons work.
