Iran says ready for nuclear talks without preconditions

A senior Iranian nuclear official said Tehran was ready for nuclear talks with the West based on mutual respect and without preconditions, state television reported on Tuesday.

U.S. President Barack Obama has given Iran until September to take up a six-power offer of talks on trade benefits if it shelves sensitive nuclear enrichment, or face harsher sanctions.

"Talks without preconditions is Iran's main stance in negotiations on the nuclear issue," Iran's envoy to the U.N. nuclear agency watchdog, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, was quoted as saying by state television.

Iranian officials have made similar statements in the past. But political turmoil in the Islamic state following its disputed June presidential election appeared to have dimmed prospects for dialogue on the nuclear row.

Why 5+1, Gx, etc.?

by Rahgozar on Tue Aug 18, 2009 09:55 AM PDT

I wish Iran would announce its intention to negotiate with any country about all issues of mutual concern, on a bilatereal basis, instead of agreeing to engage with these groups.

Negotiating groups and blocks like 5+1 aim to place overwhelming pressure on the (third world) country that they negotiate with, and to keep it under their "control". 

No respectable country engages in negotiations with these arbitrarily formed groups.
