Iran Promises 'Breakthrough' in Nuke Talks
New proposals from Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will lead to a 'breakthrough' and big changes in negotiations with Europe over the Islamic republic's nuclear program, Iran's top negotiator said Saturday. "With our new proposals to the Europeans we will have a breakthrough and with these positive results we will reach our goal," Ali Larijani was quoted as saying by Iranian news agencies. "Dr Ahmadinejad has new innovations, and the details will be announced soon soon," he added, signaling that the initiative could be partly designed to widen international involvement in the talks -- currently being led by Britain, France and Germany. The so-called EU-3 have cancelled talks set for August 31 in Paris, saying negotiations can not continue unless Iran ceases all nuclear fuel work. Iran is unhappy with the demand for a total halt fuel work in exchange for a package of trade, security and technology incentives. Iran maintains such work for peaceful purposes is a right of any signatory of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
