Iran-Nuclear issue
Iran on Saturday strongly rejected calls for suspension of its peaceful nuclear activities.
Deputy Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) for Strategic Affairs Ali Hosseini-Tash made the disclosure while talking to reporters on the sidelines of a student conference on Iran's recent success in the nuclear field.
Asked about a recent BBC news story which said Deputy Secretary of the SNSC for International Affairs Javad Vaeedi, who recently visited Moscow, was there on the condition Iran would suspend its nuclear activities, Hosseini-Tash said he rejected such stories.
"We will choose proper ways (of resolving this issue). We intend to settle this case through compromise and negotiations," he said.
Asked to comment on the talks held by the Iranian delegation with the Europeans in Moscow on Thursday, he said that talks of the kind have a special impact.
But, he added, "we need extra time to be able to talk about results of talks. In light of current circumstances, these talks will produce good results."
