Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said yesterday the Islamic republic’s leadership would examine an international proposal aimed at resolving a crisis over their disputed nuclear program. Speaking at Tehran’s Mehrabad airport, where he was awaiting the arrival of European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, Mottaki said a deal was possible but only if Iran’s “demands” were met. “If their aim is not to politicize the issue and if they take our demands into consideration, we can reach a reasonable agreement,” Mottaki told reporters.Mottaki said Solana would hand the proposal — drawn up by Britain, France and Germany, and backed by the United States, Russia and China — to top Iranian national security official Ali Larijani today. “Tomorrow, Solana will meet Larijani and present the proposal to him. We will examine this proposal and give our reply after the end of the defined period,” Mottaki said, without saying how long Iran had been given to respond. A diplomatic source said Solana may also meet President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly rejected demands to halt enrichment — at the center of fears the country could make nuclear weapons.
