By DPA Tags: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Iran UN Iran nuclearFollowing the adoption of UN Security Council 1803 against Iran,President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday ruled out talks with the European Union over the nuclear dispute.
"Iran will no longer have any talks with any other country (over the nuclear dispute) outside the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)," Mehr news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying after a cabinet session in Tehran.
Iran had in the recent years held several rounds of talks with the EU via foreign policy chief Javier Solana which however led to no tangible results so far.
The UN Security Council voted on Monday to impose additional sanctions on Iran for its continued refusal to abandon nuclear activities.
"The resolution against our country has no legal and technical value and such resolutions will therefore have no impact on our development process (nuclear program)," Ahmadinejad said.
