The negotiating sides announced that the talks were constructive. The next round of talks between Iran and Group 5+1 will be held in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on May 23. Iran has always announced that it will not negotiate on its right to peaceful nuclear energy, particularly enrichment of uranium required for its nuclear research facilities. However, Tehran has said that it is ready to continue to talks with IAEA and Group 5+1 in order to remove the ambiguities pertaining its peaceful nuclear activities. Although Iran has several times before has voiced its readiness to hold talks with IAEA and Group 5+1, the US and the Zionist regime try to bring the talks to a deadlock by raising non-technical issues such as asking Iran to halt its uranium enrichment activities held within Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)./end
