on
Tuesday welcomed what it called the West's newfound "realism" on
Tehran
's
controversial nuclear program after world powers failed to decide on new
sanctions.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters: "Speaking of
sanctions is repetitive and it isn't constructive.
"Some Western countries...should correct their approach and be realistic
about our [nuclear] rights. And we feel there are traces of realism to be
seen," he said.
On Monday, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki made similar positive comments.
"We are ready to help with the realistic approach and at the same time we
will wait for public and backstage developments in
Iran
's
nuclear case," Mottaki told reporters.
World powers made up of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council
plus
Germany
met
in
New York
Saturday but failed to reach an agreement about new sanctions. The six are
concerned about Tehran's rejection of a U.N.-brokered deal under which most of
Iran's low enriched uranium stockpile would be shipped abroad to be further
enriched into reactor fuel.
Iran
has
come up with its own counter-proposal of a staged and simultaneous swap of LEU
with nuclear reactor fuel. This has been largely rejected by world powers,
insisting
Tehran
accept the International Atomic Energy Agency offer.
