Iran-US-Ahmadinejad
Iran will hold direct talks with the United States if necessary, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday.

He said that Tehran does not need any mediator for talks with Washington and is well-prepared for direct talks.

Responding to a question after the cabinet meeting that Iran and the United States are willing to hold direct talks, he said that Iran prefers direct talks with the United States without intermediary.

"As I have previously announced, I am ready to talk with Mr Bush directly," President Ahmadinejad said.
