Ahmadinejad says no to enrichment halt

TEHRAN, Iran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday his country rejected the suspension of uranium-enrichment activities by Tehran, "even for one day." The comments came after representatives from
Iran and the European Union failed to reach a deal in their latest round of nuclear talks, held in Berlin. However, the two sides came to "some positive conclusions," Tehran's chief negotiator said.
Neither Ali Larijani nor EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana gave any details of what had been achieved, but both spoke positively of the discussions over Tehran's disputed nuclear program.
Solana and Larijani are holding the latest round of talks over a package of incentives that six countries — the United States, China, Russia, France, Britain and Germany — are offering Tehran in return for suspending its uranium enrichment program and returning to full-scale negotiations.
Iran missed an Aug. 31 Security Council deadline over the issue. The six are considering seeking sanctions in the U.N. Security Council if Tehran does not comply.
