TEHRAN, March 12 (Xinhuanet) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki warned here on Sunday that Iran would revise its policy of being committed to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if the country's right to peaceful nuclear technology could not be secured.

    "If we concluded that the current policy (on the NPT) cannot protect the country's right, we may revise and change it," Mottaki told reporters when asked on the possibility of Iran's withdrawal from the treaty on the sidelines of an international meeting.

    However, Mottaki expressed confidence that there was still space for all concerned parties to reach an agreement through negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.

    Mottaki made the comments four days after the International Atomic Energy Agency's board of governors decided on Wednesday to formally submit Iran's file to the UN Security Council.

    Envoys of the five permanent members of the Security Council, the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China, convened in secret sessions on Wednesday and Friday at the UN headquarters in New York in preparation for the 15-member council to discuss the issue next week.

    However, the five countries failed to reach an agreement on the move that the Security Council should take on Iran.

    Iran has said that it will continue talks with the international community to find a solution to its nuclear dispute in spite of the negative situation, but will never give in under pressures and bullies. Enditem
