Iran has refused to accept a call by the European side on suspension of activities at Isfahan UCF to hold the scheduled talks on August 31, a senior Iranian official said here Wednesday.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi, who is also deputy foreign minister for parliamentary and legal affairs, told IRNA, "The performance of the Europeans indicates they are following other objectives from negotiations with Iran. "The Islamic Republic of Iran has announced from the outset it seeks settlement of the issue through negotiation, but a negotiation which reinforces and ensures Iran's rights and which does not have any preconditions," he said.
