Tehran, Iran – Iran said in a statement reported Wednesday that it was willing to resume talks with three European countries about its nuclear program, but it insisted on its right to enrich uranium for peaceful uses.
It was the first official request to resume negotiations by the conservative government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which adopted a tougher line on the nuclear issue after it took office in August.
The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Iran “was ready to resume unconditional negotiations with all member states of the International Atomic Energy Agency, including the three European countries, to strengthen cooperation and assure Iran’s right to nuclear development,” the ISNA news agency reported Wednesday.
