Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili said Tehran is ready for further talks with major world powers provided that its rights are not violated, refuting claims that it has set preconditions.

Jalili made the remarks in a press conference following talks with the Group 5+1.

"We are still prepared for further negotiations with the G5+1, based on common issues. We are prepared for comprehensive talks like we said in Geneva," he said.

Earlier in the press conference, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton claimed that the G5+1 had hoped to have a “detailed and constructive” negotiation, accusing the Iranian side of seeking to set “preconditions on talks relating to enrichment and sanction.”

Addressing the issue, Jalili said that Iran had discussed certain necessities that need to precede any meaningful talks, such as strengthening the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and nuclear disarmament.

"Fuel swap can be the basis for cooperation between nations… and it could be a subject for further negotiations," he added.
