TEHRAN (IRNA) -- Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki said on Sunday that the recent report issued by IAEA Chief Mohamed ElBaradei on peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear activities has created a tough situation for the U.S.

Addressing students in the University of Science and Technology, he said the report issued by 16 U.S. intelligence agencies and ElBaradei’s report have put seal of approval on peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear activities, thus making American officials empty handed.
Iran is to follow up its proposed 14 articles plan on Iraq which was firstly raised in Istanbul conference, he said, adding that the country is to pursue the case in the upcoming conference in Kuwait.
The plan has called for withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq and sought avenues to help restore stability and security to Iraq, Mottaki said.
On U.S. call for next round of talks with Iran on Iraq’s security, Mottaki said the offer indicates that the U.S. aggressive policies in Iraq are doomed to failure.
Conducting bilateral talks with U.S. officials is not on agenda of Iran, Mottaki added.
Mottaki said that the IAEA report would not end U.S. hostility towards Iran.
“U.S. problem with Iran had not started with Tehran’s nuclear program so that it could have ended now after the release of the IAEA report.”
Referring to U.S. policies towards Iran during the past three decades, Mottaki said, “Iran believes U.S. policies are hostile towards Iran.”
As for Iran-U.S. talks on Iraq, Mottaki said those talks have been held “to help the people of Iraq and restore stability and security in that country.”
