Top Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili said Tehran would soon unveil the proposals publicly and claimed that they would help assure the international community that Iran's nuclear program was peaceful.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran has serious proposals that while reducing threats in the nuclear issue to the minimum, [also] prevent proliferation," Jalili was quoted as saying by Iran's official news agency, IRNA. He did not provide details of the proposals.
Iran has denied pursuing nuclear weapons, saying its program is geared toward generating electricity.
Jalili said he discussed the "outlines" of the package Monday with acting Security Council Secretary Valentin Sobolev during his visit to Iran, according to IRNA.
Sobolev said he hoped the talks would help "advance Iranian-Russian relations," RIA-Novosti reported.
"Our talks are of a peaceful nature and are not directed against any third countries," Sobolev said.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
