Pressure would not lead to fruitful nuclear talks: Jalili

Iran’s chief negotiator Saeed Jalili said Tuesday that any discussions between world powers and Iran on Tehran’s disputed nuclear programme must be based on cooperation, and not pressure.

“We need to have, and to organise talks which are based on cooperation rather than pressure,” said Jalili.

“A dual strategy is not helpful — it will not help talks to reach fruition,” added the Iranian official after two days of discussions with world powers.
