TEHRAN, Dec 08 (SPA) - Iran will never halt its nuclearwork and expects the United States to change its "failed"carrot-and-stick approach to solving the atomic row with Tehran,the Foreign Ministry said on Monday. U.S. President-elect Barack Obama said on Sunday he wasprepared to offer Iran economic incentives to stop its nuclearprogramme. But he warned that sanctions could be toughened if it refused. "When they stick to their past view regarding suspendinguranium enrichment, our answer will be: Iran will never suspenduranium enrichment," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavitold reporters. "If their (Washington's) new stance is to remove concernsabout Iran's nuclear activities, we are ready for that. But ournew expectation is ... that they should recognise our right tonuclear technology," Qashqavi was quoted as saying by Reuters. "The old policy was carrot and stick. This needs to changeand transform into an interactive policy," he said.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/614847
