'IAEA must have logical approach towards Iran'

The key to successful negotiations regarding between Iran and IAEA regarding the nuclear program is that the agency has to have a reasonable, logical approach towards Iran, Iranian FM spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said during the press conference in Tehran, Press TV reported.

"The talks will soon be held, and we hope that the IAEA representatives will be entering them through logical and serious posture," Mehmanparast said, adding that Iran's full rights to peaceful enrichment should be guaranteed.

The IAEA and Iran have agreed to hold further talks on 13 December.

Speaking of Irans talks with P5+1 group, Mehmanparast said that Iran is prepared to hold constructive talks with the group.

"If the P5+1 replaces its wrong approach with other methods, if there is a reasonable approach, then we will all come to understanding, and all concerns will be removed," Mehmanparast said.

EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton will reportedly host a meeting of representatives of six major powers in Brussels on Wednesday, as part of efforts to dissuade Iran from its nuclear programme.

The talks with the six will be the first since the Nov. 6 re-election of U.S. President Barack Obama, which raised hope of a revival of diplomacy after hawkish campaign talk and speculation that Israel might strike Iranian nuclear facilities.

Washington and its Western allies suspect Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program, while Iran denies the charges and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

Tehran stresses that the country has always pursued a civilian path to provide power to the growing number of Iranian population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry.

Despite the rules enshrined in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) entitling every member state, including Iran, to the right of uranium enrichment, Tehran is now under four rounds of UN Security Council sanctions and the unilateral western embargos for turning down West's calls to give up its right of uranium enrichment.
