Iran has told six European powers that it will not participate in negotiations over its nuclear program from a position of inequality. Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said that Tehran would not give up the right to produce its own nuclear fuel, but would be willing to negotiate a broader peace and security deal. Iran stated this position in a letter that was written in response to an unofficial letter presented to Iran earlier on behalf of six European powers alongside a package of incentives drawn up by the permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, the G5+1. Mottaki pointed out that the pressure to end the country's program was 'illegal' as the UN nuclear watchdog had found nothing to indicate diversion in Iran's enrichment activities.
