No offer from the world powers that have held negotiations with Iran about its nuclear program could persuade the Islamic state to stop its uranium enrichment, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday.
When asked at a news conference whether the P5+1 group — the United States, France, Germany, China, Russia and Britain — could offer any incentive to stop Iran’s enrichment, he answered with the one word: “No”.
Iran’s top nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, welcomed the P5+1 group’s overtures to return to nuclear negotiations last month, underlining the talks should be just and without pressuring the other party.”
Jalili’s comments came in response to a letter from European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton , inviting the Islamic Republic to join new nuclear talks after a previous round of negotiations in January made no headway.
Ahmadinejad intimated last month that future talks would be held in Istanbul, Turkey, although no date for a nuclear summit was set.
The January talks were unsuccessful after Iran refused to suspend uranium enrichment as demanded by several Security Council resolutions dating to 2006.
The United States and its European allies suspect Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons capability under the cover of its declared civilian atomic energy program. Teheran denies it, saying it needs nuclear technology to generate electricity.
