Iran's defiance

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated that Iran is willing to enter negotiations with the UN and western countries if they also suspend their nuclear fuel production. Until now the US and UN have challenged Iran to suspend the enrichment of nuclear fuel, now with the deadline approaching Iran stated that it will suspend its enrichment if the western countries asking the same from Iran do the same. The white House responded with a statement delivered by White House spokesman Tony Snow who said: "Do you believe that's a serious offer?"
Clarifying that the US is not willing to suspend its own enrichment process to aid the negotiations. The US is also pressing for a more aggressive strategy if Iran does not suspend its enrichment before the deadline. Many experts have warned before military intervention because it could cause another great war in a region in which any war can't be afforded.
