Iran sees no justification in continuing nuclear negotiations exclusively with the European Union trio, said Iran's newly appointed chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani on Thursday. Speaking on state television, Larijani said there were serious doubts whether Britain, France and Germany were the only suitable negotiation partners and whether they genuinely represent the E.U. and the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Larijani, who is also Iran's new secretary of the National Security Council, said there could be other countries within Europe or even non-European countries within the IAEA board of governors with whom Iran could continue nuclear talks. Larijani reiterated that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has a new initiative for the nuclear talks which will be disclosed as soon as the new cabinet starts work.
