Miss Rice talks very tough. We have gotten used to this nonsense. Miss Rice is a bit emotional about this, and we predicted that she would have a more emotional approach to this.

When I talk about the assets, that was at the beginning of the talks. I was president then. I'm not president now. When I said it, this would be a sign of goodwill to begin the talks.

I'm not satisfied with the progress of the work, but I am happy that the talks are going on. It might have a negative effect if the United States joins.

The Islamic Republic of Iran does not intend to stop.

Threats and unilateralism will be futile and rather make the situation more difficult for negotiators of both sides.

Passing a tough resolution or threatening Iran will not bring about the desired outcome.
