BEIJING, Oct. 6 -- Iran reiterated on Tuesday that it was ready to reopen talks with Europeans over its nuclear programme, which Washington says is aimed at producing nuclear weapons.

    But IAEA Director Mohamed ElBaradei, speaking during a forum on nuclear safety issues in Moscow, added a note of caution.

    "The jury is still out. The faster Iran cooperates with us, the faster Iran cooperates with the International community to build confidence," he said. "The earlier we will be able to reach a conclusion on the nature of Iran's programme."

    Earlier this week, the United States urged governments to end nuclear projects with Iran in light of a recent finding by the U.N. nuclear watchdog that Tehran is not complying with the nuclear nonproliferation treaty.

    Russia is building a nuclear plant in Iran that the United States says could be used by Iran to make nuclear weapons.

    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reiterated on Wednesday that it was ready to reopen unconditional negotiations with Europeans over its nuclear program.

    "We are ready for negotiations with different countries and individuals. Negotiation is not limited to the few, but we will never accept humiliating talks aimed at compromising the country's rights," said Ahmadinejad.

    He also repeated his offer to international companies to participate in Iranian nuclear program.
