Iran-Mottaki-Nuclear
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki here Friday night said access to nuclear energy is a legal right of Iran as a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Mottaki was speaking to reporters upon his arrival here from a day-long visit to Oman.
"I hope the 5+1 Group's latest session reached a positive outcome on the use of nuclear energy," he said.
The European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana arrived in Tehran Monday night to present to Iran the package of incentives approved by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- Britain, France, China, Russia and the United State -- plus Germany in their session in Vienna on Thursday to convince it to give up its enrichment activities.
"Iran will cooperate with the European Union if talks with Solana turn out to be positive.
"Trapped in the regional conflicts in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States cannot afford another crisis in the region," he added.
The minister declined to comment on the outcome of the latest Group 5+1 session.
He said his visit to Oman was to brief Muscat officials of Iran's policies and views on regional cooperation and the anti-smuggling campaign.
