Iran says it is ready to begin talks on day of nuclear posturing

She had written to Mr Jalili in October, offering Iran a new round of talks
toward an agreement that “restores international confidence in the
exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program.”

The West fears Iran seeks nuclear weapons, and speculation is rife that Israel
may launch a pre-emptive strike to set back the program.

Mr Jalili welcomed Lady Ashton’s statement of respect for Iran’s right to
peaceful nuclear energy use and said that “by committing to this
approach, our talks for cooperation based on step-by-step principles and
reciprocity on Iran’s nuclear issue could be commenced,” according to a
translated copy of the letter.

A “constructive and positive attitude towards Islamic Republic of Iran’s
new initiatives in this round of talks could open (a) positive perspective
for our negotiation,” Jalili wrote. “Therefore, within this
context, I propose to resume our talks in order to take fundamental steps
for sustainable cooperation in the earliest possibility, in a mutually
agreed venue and time.”

But Jalili’s four-paragraph, one-page letter offered no concessions. EU and US
officials declined to comment Wednesday, saying they were still studying the
letter.
