Iran delays formal response on nuclear program
 Iran will respond in mid-August to the package of incentives on its nuclear program offered by the West, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday, but the United States immediately accused Tehran of dragging its feet. "We are studying the proposals. Hopefully, we will present our views about the package by mid-August," Mr. Ahmadinejad told a crowd in western Iran in a speech broadcast live on state television.U.S. President George W. Bush, speaking at an annual U.S.-European Union summit in Vienna, said that seemed "like an awfully long time" to wait for an answer. "It shouldn't take the Iranians that long to analyze what's a reasonable deal," Mr. Bush said. Posted by: Fred 2006-06-22 |
