The United States is ready for direct negotiations with Iran if this country stops working on the enrichment of Uranus, said US Secretary of State of Condoliza Rice to reporters in the Norwegian capital of Oslo, where she participates in the Summit of the NATO Council (SRN), Interfax reports.
“If Tehran is ready for this, then the United States and President George Bush are ready to discard 27 years of American politics and sit face to face with Iranians and our allies to discuss how Iran can have peaceful atomic capabilities without risk to spread nuclear weapons,” she said on Thursday.
The head of American diplomacy recalled that the “only condition” for such negotiations with Iran is “stopping the enrichment and processing of Uranus.
“I want to emphasize that no one says that Iran does not have the right to civil atomic capabilities,” Rice said.
She said that in the relations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) with Tehran, there is no sufficient transparency in the nuclear region. Therefore, according to her, "there is no confidence in the intentions of the Iranians, who allegedly move towards the creation of nuclear weapons."
The Supreme Representative of the European Union for Unified Foreign Policy and Security Policy Javier Solan later on Thursday will arrive in Oslo. He will tell the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the NATO countries about his negotiations in Ankara for the Iranian Atomic Program with the secretary of the National Security Council of Iran Ali Laridzhani, Interfax reports with reference to the Spanish agency EFE .
Recall that on the eve of the US President said that Kondoliza Rice could meet with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Iran Manuchekhr Motaki as part of the upcoming Iraq International Conference in Egypt. However, they will not discuss the Iranian nuclear program.
