Iran sends letter to EU foreign policy chief over nuclear talks

In his letter sent to Ashton on Wednesday, Jalili "voiced doubts about the six major world powers' determination to hold fruitful talks with Iran in Moscow," according to a report of Iran 's Press TV on Thursday.

The other side's hesitation to hold a meeting between deputies and experts throws doubts on their resolve for successful talks in Moscow, Jalili was quoted as saying in the letter.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to hold progressive talks for cooperation based on a clear logic and specific initiatives," he said, according to the report.

Jalili, who is also Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Secretary, stated that unless the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (P5+1) gear up for meetings at experts and deputies level, holding further talks merely for the sake of discussions would be of no avail, said Press TV.

The Baghdad talks on Iran's nuclear standoff were concluded last month with a plan to hold another round of talks in Moscow on June 18-19.
