Tehran, Jan. 26 – The issue of halting Iran’s nuclear activities has never been on the agenda of talks between the European Union and Iran, a senior official told an Iranian news agency.

Hossein Moussavian, head of the foreign affairs committee of the Supreme National Security Council and Tehran’s point man in nuclear negotiation, denied an Associated Press report that quoted European diplomats as saying that nuclear negotiations between Iran and the European side had come to a dead-end over Iran’s refusal to consider scrapping its uranium enrichment program.

“Iran and Europe are at the initial stages of the activities of the three political-security, economic and nuclear committees. There is no dead-end,” he said.

Moussavian said the European have not asked Iran to halt its nuclear activities and that the two sides were discussing practical and strategic measures in a number of issues facing them.

Moussavian repeated the insistence of the Iranian regime to obtain complete nuclear fuel cycle, meaning that Tehran intends to resume uranium enrichment.
