Iran finds some atomic incentives unacceptable
Sun Jun 11, 2006 2:58am ET

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran believes some elements of proposals by six world powers
to try to persuade it to stop its atomic fuel work are unacceptable and Tehran
will offer its own amendments, a Foreign Ministry official said on Sunday.

"We should study the package offered. We should classify it. There are points
which are acceptable. There are points which are ambiguous and there are points
that we believe should not exist," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi
said.

"We have received the package, we should give our views in response to that
package and we will offer our proposals," he told a weekly news conference.

3. These Iranianianai guys obviously didn't get the memo.

Don't they realize that they're supposed to accept whatever the West gives them, tug their forelock, say 'yes, effendi' and thank their lucky stars that we even bother to notice them at all? Hell, how many times do we have to tell these guys? Soon, they'll do something really stupid like start their own oil bourse and we'll have to nuke em back to the Stone Age. Sheesh. Some guys just can't take a hint.

4. Negotiator: Iran wants unconditional talks

Iran's top nuclear negotiator said Sunday that his country wants "unconditional" nuclear talks and that a Western incentives package has "weak points." Ali Larijani also told reporters that Iran would not accept "any threats" to force it to accept the package, referring to comments by U.S. President George W. Bush that Iran would face possible penalties if it did not respond to the offer.

"It has been said that there are pre-conditions put on Iran in the proposal. We have previously said we consider a proposal without preconditions as good," Larijani told reporters in Cairo after talks with President Hosni Mubarak and other Egyptian officials. The package "contains some positive points and some weak points," he said
