Iran-Nuclear-Aqazadeh
Iran's Vice-President Gholam-Reza Aqazadeh said here Thursday that continued talks between Iran and the West on Tehran's nuclear program can serve as a means for settlement of the Middle East problems, ranging from those concerning Iraq to the oil prices.

Speaking to reporters after talks with the IAEA Chief Mohammed ElBaradei, Aqazadeh said, "If the talks continue, solutions can be found for many problems like Iraq, Lebanon or the fuel prices." Also talking to IRNA and the Islamic Republic of Iran's Broadcasting (IRIB) after the meeting, Aqazadeh said he and the IAEA top official mutually believe that the issue of alleged studies is a side issue and has nothing to do with the ongoing working relations between Iran and the IAEA.

Aqazadeh said Iran has done whatever it could in connection with the alleged studies case and the IAEA will draw necessary conclusion on the issue at an appropriate time.
