Latest Iran response requires 'careful' analysis
London, UK - 22 August 2006 - EU's foreign policy
Chief His Excellency Javier Solana has said that Iran's latest response to
an international offer of incentives for it to stop uranium enrichment requires
careful analysis.
"The document is extensive and therefore requires a detailed and careful
analysis," HE Javier Solana said of Tehran's response, which was received
earlier today by representatives of the five permanent UN Security Council
members -- USA, UK, France, Russia and China -- plus Germany (5 + 1 Group).
The so-called 5+1 Group drew up the incentives package for Iran to renounce
uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities, and has set an August 31 deadline
for Iran to agree or risk UN sanctions. HE Javier Solana said he would "remain
in open contact" with Ali Larijani, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator.
The details of Tehran's response were not publicly released but Larijani said
that Iran was "ready for serious talks with the 5+1 Group from August
23 over the offered package". Iran insists its nuclear programme is for
peaceful energy production and denies any clandestine effort to build nuclear
weapons.
