Iran set to offer new nuclear proposals

Iran will soon offer new proposals for negotiations with Europe over its controversial nuclear programme, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on state-run television today.

Ahmadinejad said he has instructed the Supreme National Security Council, the country’s top security decision-making body, to draw up a new set of proposals over Iran’s uranium enrichment programme.

“Iran will soon offer proposals about the cycle of nuclear fuel for peaceful use of nuclear energy,” he said.

Ahmadinejad said his government wants to continue talks with the Europeans over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
