Iran says it's bringing "new initiatives" to Saturday's nuclear talks with the us, Britain, China, Russia, France and Germany. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says these new negotiations should be greater than either side talking around one another without ever coming to an agreement. Â
Secretary Clinton says foreign ministers of the gang of Eight leading industrialized nations are united of their resolve that Iran come to Saturday's talks prepared to take concrete action on its nuclear program.
Iran's official IRNA news agency quotes chief negotiator Saeed Jalili as saying Iranian representatives will bring "new initiatives" to Turkey and "are able to hold successful and progressive talks on cooperation."
Secretary Clinton says the international community is seeking a sustained process that delivers results.
"We're receiving signals that they're bringing ideas to the table," said Clinton. "They assert that their program is only peaceful. They point to a fatwa that the supreme leader has issued against the pursuit of nuclear weapons. We wish them to illustrate clearly within the actions they propose that they've truly abandoned any nuclear weapons ambition."
In coming to the table, Secretary Clinton says Iran must demonstrate its seriousness. Like every countries, U.S. officials say Iran has the correct to peaceful, civilian nuclear power but must first credibly address international concerns about its nuclear ambitions, especially refining uranium beyond 20 percent.
Regional analysts say the eu-Union-led negotiations may include offers to delay further efforts to dry up Iranian oil markets in exchange for Tehran closing its Fordo uranium enrichment plant.
Secretary Clinton says the window for a diplomatic resolution won't stay open forever.
"We're in search of concrete results," she said. "And naturally, in a negotiation, we remember the fact that the Iranians might be inquiring for assurances or actions from us, and we are going to certainly take those into consideration."
Germany and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council meet Friday for preliminary talks sooner than Saturday's session with Iran. In a written statement, China's Foreign Ministry is urging "flexibility and sincerity" in order to open a dialogue that may be continued.
