Iran on Monday warned the West against any harsh approaches and said it would make Iran more determined to go ahead with its nuclear works. "If Westerners take harsh approaches, their practice will not be much effective, rather this will make the Islamic Republic of Iran more determined to continue with its nuclear activities," said Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani in an interview with reporters after meeting Georgian Foreign Minister Gela Bezhuashvili.

 

Larijani said the Islamic Republic of Iran will made decisions based on new conditions. According to Irna, he said Tehran favors negotiations and such measures would not deviate it from the main path.

 

On his talks with the EU Foreign Policy Chief Javier Solana, Larijani said, "The four rounds of talks with Solana prepared a good basis for understanding of Iran's nuclear activities and removing concerns of either side."

He said that in the talks, Iran had provided answers to two main questions on "non-diversion of Iran's nuclear activities" and "Iran's deprivation of its rights" and presented formulas for both the problems.  "We provided formulas for other problems too," he added.
