Iran's Majlis (parliament) Speaker Ali Larijani warned that future nuclear talks between Iran and the world's major powers would end without any productive result if " the West continues to put Iran under pressure," the local satellite Press TV reported Wednesday.
"If they (the West) seek to go with their previous course of action and try to force concessions under pressure, negotiations will yield no results," Larijani was quoted as saying.
He reiterated that Iran is not after nuclear bombs, said the report.
The six world powers that used to engage in Iran nuclear talks have accepted an Iranian offer to revive negotiations after months of stalemate, the European Union's (EU) top diplomat said Tuesday.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said she received a letter in February from Iran's nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, who said Tehran wanted to reopen negotiations with the six powers - - three EU countries of France, Britain and Germany plus China, Russia and the United States.
Ashton said she had accepted on behalf of the six countries the offer to resume talks in her reply to Jalili's letter. However, the date and venue for the talks are yet to be decided, she added.
"We hope that Iran will now enter a sustained process of constructive dialogue which will deliver real progress in resolving the international community's long-standing concerns on its nuclear program," she said.
The last round of nuclear talks between Iran and the six countries held in January 2011 in Istanbul produced no concrete results. |
