U.S. not seeking solution to Iran’s nuclear issue: MP

TEHRAN, July 7 (MNA) – Apparently the U.S. is not seeking a solution to the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program, MP Kazem Jalali said on Tuesday.

The United States has had some opportunities but Washington rebuffed all of them, Jalali told the Mehr News Agency.

For example, he said Iran’s package of nuclear proposals and the Tehran declaration were both snubbed by the U.S..

Elsewhere in his remarks, he said “extremists” in the West do not want a win-win solution to the nuclear row.

“At the present situation, the U.S. behavior has become known to the public opinion, and all have understood that the Zionism and extremism movements do not want the nuclear issue moves forward ….with a win-win approach,” he stated.

He went on to say that Iran is opposed to the double-standard policy adopted by the West, adding this policy has been around for quite a while.

On nuclear talks with the 5+1 group (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany), he said the group should be firm if it really seeks dialogue.

Jalali also said a participation of Turkey and Brazil along with the 5+1 group in nuclear talks could be useful.

He said it is highly important to draw up a roadmap for nuclear negotiations.
