TEHRAN: Iran’s top nuclear negotiator said his country is ready to hold talks with world powers to ease fears over its nuclear activities and has prepared a revised package of proposals for Western countries.
Nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili told reporters of the country’s new proposals a day before a meeting in Germany of the six countries trying to address concerns about Iran’s nuclear program — the US, France, Britain, Russia, China and Germany.
The US has given Iran a deadline of the end of September to take up an offer of nuclear talks with six world powers and enjoy trade incentives should it suspend uranium enrichment activities. If not, Iran could face harsher sanctions.
Tehran in the past said its new proposals deal with political and economic issues as well as security and international affairs but did not say how it would address Western concerns.
