Russia is one of six world powers considering Iran's offer of “serious negotiations” over its controversial nuclear programme. Iran says it is ready to begin talks as early as Wednesday.
The offer is part of
Tehran's response to incentives aimed at persuading it to scale back its nuclear ambitions. The United Nations has given
Iran until the end of August to freeze its uranium enrichment programme, or face possible sanctions.
Washington has accused
Iran of secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons – a charge
Tehran has always denied. Meanwhile, nuclear industry officials from
Iran travelled to
Moscow for training, heading for the
Kalinin nuclear power plant in central
Russia.
