Iran will resume nuclear talks with Europe in August

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says Iran is willing to resume nuclear talks, but not until August, so as to punish the West. Mr. Ahmadinejad says Iran is postponing nuclear talks because the West issued a Security Council resolution against it, supposedly to give them the upper hand in negotiations. He says Iran considers it immoral, and for this reason Tehran is delaying negotiations until late August, to punish the West so they learn how to speak properly with other nations. Mr. Ahmadinejad told a press conference in Tehran that the United States, along with Israel and Great Britain, is Iran's chief enemy. Mr. Ahmadinejad says that some nations want Iran to stop enriching uranium to 20 percent because they say Tehran wants to build a bomb. He says they should first disarm their own bombs if they are afraid of bombs, because bombs are dangerous wherever they are. Iran has repeatedly insisted its nuclear program is intended for peaceful, civilian purposes. The United States and other nations suspect Tehran of working to build nuclear weapons.
