Iran pledged to pursue its disputed atomic program

this path (to obtain nuclear technology)," Mottaki was quoted
as saying by the official IRNA news agency.

powers remain at odds over how soon to resort to more United Nations
penalties and how harsh they should be.
Tehran said earlier this week that Iran's chief nuclear negotiator
Saeed Jalili would put forward "new initiatives" to
European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana in London on
Friday, without giving further details.
