Iran ‘has no problem’ resuming nuclear talks

IRAN yesterday reiterated it is ready to reopen unconditional negotiations with Europeans over its controversial nuclear programme, which the US says is aimed at building a nuclear bomb.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi also hinted the uranium gas Iran has produced is low quality and needs purification before it can be injected into centrifuges to enrich uranium. Iran says it needs to enrich uranium to produce fuel for its future nuclear power plants.

"Iran has no problem with resuming negotiations, but the Islamic Republic of Iran doesn't accept pressure and conditional talks."
