Iran-Asefi-Nuclear
Iran on Sunday warned if its nuclear case is sent to the United Nations Security Council, negotiations would get out of its natural course.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi made the remark while addressing domestic and foreign reporters at his weekly press conference.
Asked about Iran's response to a package of incentives offered by the world six powers (Group 5+1) to Iran on its nuclear case, he said, "Various committees are working on it.
"Time is ripe for Iran and Europe to gradually enter details (of the nuclear case)."
On June 6, Iran was offered a package of incentives by the UN Security Council's five permanent members -- Russia China, US, UK and France -- plus Germany through EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana in exchange for suspension of uranium enrichment and resumption of talks to settle the dispute over its nuclear program.
Asefi added, "The proposed package is a good base for talks.
Currently, we are not in a position to speak about acceptance or denial of the package."
