Tehran says hoping for nuclear talks 'very soon'

NEW DELHI - Iran hopes talks with six major powers about its atomic program will begin very soon, the country's top nuclear negotiator said on Wednesday during a trip to India.
Last week, Russian media said the six world powers - the United States, Russia, France, Britain, Germany and China - were still negotiating with the Islamic Republic on a possible date and venue for the talks.
"We gave our proposal to Russia and they expressed their readiness for a restart of the talks. We welcome them," Saeed Jalili, Iran's national security council secretary, said.
"The venue and the time...have not been finalized but we hope that these talks will start very soon," he told reporters after a speech in Delhi.
