IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Berlin, Feb 23, IRNA -- American President George W. Bush reaffirmed Wednesday support for Europe`s diplomatic Iran initiative but made clear that all other options remain open. "I said all options are on the table... but diplomacy is just beginning. Iran is not Iraq," Bush said during a joint news conference with Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in Mainz. Pointing to his Iran talks with Schroeder, Bush said that they discussed a "series of negotiation tactics". Germany has repeatedly urged America to play a more active role in EU-Iran nuclear negotiations, however Washington has refused to take part in direct talks with the Islamic Republic of Iran. OT/1412
