Special report: Iran Nuclear Crisis
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- The
White House said on Wednesday that it will have no talks with Iran until the
Islamic country suspends uranium enrichment.
The "one-on-one" talks between the United States and
Iran "have been ruled out" unless Iran suspends enrichment and reprocessing
activities, White House spokesman Tony Snow said at a briefing.
Snow made the comments after the bipartisan Iraq
Study Group released its report earlier Wednesday that suggested more engagement
with the Islamic country.
The United States has been seeking to impose
sanctions on Iran through the UN Security Council on the grounds that the
Islamic country develops a nuclear weapon program under the cover of a civilian
program. However, Iran has said that its nuclear program is for peaceful
purposes only.
