Iran Offers to Be a "Reliable Partner" in the Middle East for the West
In exchange for a change of approach regarding their nuclear program
(Reuters) – Iran said on Tuesday that it would be a "reliable partner" in the Middle East if Western countries would take a more cooperative approach in talks on its nuclear program.
Western powers blame tension with Iran in part on its refusal to cooperate with United Nations calls for curbs on its nuclear activity to ensure it is for peaceful purposes only, and to open up to investigations by U.N. inspectors.
