Iran's top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili and
EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana agreed yesterday
to pursue talks aimed at resolving the nuclear crisis,
state television reported.
Their telephone talks came just days after
European Union nations last week introduced fresh
sanctions against Iran over its atomic drive, which
Western nations fear could be a cover for a secret
nuclear weapons program.
The two sides agreed to continue negotiations
in a constructive atmosphere, the television said.
Solana and Jalili voiced satisfaction at the constructive
trend of negotiations in Geneva and the contacts
afterwards.
In Brussels, Solana's office confirmed the
conversation but gave no details.
Jalili met on July 19 in Geneva with Solana,
who is the point man for the six major powers, which
have offered Iran a package of incentives in return for
a freeze in uranium enrichment activities. They also
spoke by phone on August 4.
On Friday, the presidency of the 27-member
EU announced new sanctions against Iran, including
restrictions on public loans and tougher cargo
inspections.
The move came after Tehran gave an
ambiguous answer to the demands of the six nations -
U.N. Security Council permanent members Britain,
China, France, Russia and the United States plus
Germany.
Iran is facing a possible fourth round of U.N.
Security Council sanctions over its refusal to halt
enrichment, a process which makes nuclear fuel but
also the core of an atomic bomb.
The European Union and the United States
have also imposed restrictions on the activities of
Iran's largest banks, which are running in parallel to
the three sets of sanctions agreed by the Security
Council.
