Washington, September 16, SPA -- Iran must answer international concerns about its nuclear issue in upcoming negotiations, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday. Clinton said that a six-country meeting with Iran on October 1 will test Tehran’s readiness to discuss international worries about its nuclear issue. “We have made clear to the Iranians that any talks we participate in must address the nuclear issue head on. It cannot be ignored,” Clinton told reporters in Washington. The permanent five U.N. Security Council members—the United States, China, Britain, France, and Russia—plus Germany are scheduled to participate in the talks with Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili early next month. The six powers had called for urgent talks with Iran after Tehran submitted its proposal last week.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/700692
