Reuters: Iran won’t give final nuclear response Tuesday

Iran will not give its final answer at a meeting this week to a package of proposals backed by six world powers that aims to end a nuclear standoff with the West, an Iranian nuclear official said on Monday.

Iranian chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani meets European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana on Tuesday, when the EU has said it wants a “substantial response” to the offer.

Iran previously said it would not give a final response on Tuesday but, by repeating the comment a day before the meeting, the official undermined any prospects of a breakthrough.

“Tomorrow, we will not give a definite answer. We will only discuss questions and ambiguities regarding the offer,” the official said.

Asked if Iran would give a final response if Solana answered all the queries, the official said: “It is very unlikely.”

What a surprise – NOT.

Iran will want to STALL and open a dialogue of negotiations about negotiations.
