Iran’s nuclear point man says Tehran is still ready for dialogue with the P5+1, provided that they modify their preconditions.

According to Press TV, the Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi told IRNA on Saturday that the P5+1 — the five self-imposed permanent members of UN Security Council plus Germany — are obstructing the talks aimed at ending the standoff over Tehran’s nuclear program.

Salehi said “We have repeatedly stated our readiness for dialogue, and it is they (the P5+1) who announce a new precondition each time.”

He added “This is while the Islamic Republic has declared that it will entertalks based on the two proposed packages.”

Salehi criticized the six for creating problems by “proposing a dialogue that only follows their own interpretations.”

The AEOI head also stressed that as Iran’s nuclear priority was security, membership in the Convention on Nuclear Safety would serve Iran’s national interests.
