(IsraelNN.com) Iranian delegates to nuclear talks in Geneva have announced that they are willing to discuss the Iranian nuclear program – if the discussion is part of a larger discussion on the subject of global nuclear disarmament.
Chief Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili wrote a proposal calling for worldwide disarmament and sent it to several foreign leaders. The proposal does not touch on Iran's nuclear program.
The Iranian delegates did not agree to discuss Iran's nuclear program during Thursday's Geneva meeting, except to repeat that Iran sees its uranium enrichment program as a national right.
The delegates agreed to hold a second meeting within a month, according to Iranian state media.
Delegates from Europe, the United State, Russia and China hope to convince Iran to suspend enrichment in exchange for political and economic benefits.
U.S. Undersecretary of State William Burns held a bilateral meeting with Jalili on Thursday. An unnamed official told journalists that the meeting was “significant.”
