Tehran, Iran, Nov. 18 – Iran’s top nuclear negotiator and national security chief Ali Larijani warned European Union nations that Tehran would “follow up different methods” other than talks in seeking a solution to the international deadlock over the country’s nuclear weapons program if a resolution to the crisis was not reached soon.

Larijani, who is the Secretary General of the Supreme National Security Council, accused the EU of breaking off negotiations with Tehran in August.

“If they want to waste opportunities, we will resort to other means”, the security chief told reporters.

He added that the upcoming report by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) director general appeared to be in line and logical.

“Unfortunately, the [International Atomic Energy”> Agency has never observed the legal and technical issues, but it has been heard that this time it has taken positive steps which we hope will continue”, Larijani said.

He said that he did not foresee any important turn of events prior to the November 24 meeting of the United Nations’ atomic watchdog’s board of governors.
