Russia, like its partners in the Group of Six, has begun analyzing the Iranians' response. It is very important to grasp nuances, find constructive elements, if any, and make up our mind whether it is possible to work further with Teheran on the basis of the well-known proposals of the six powers. Russia will continue pursuing a line on searching a negotiated political settlement to the situation around the Iranian nuclear program and strive to preserve the role of the IAEA and prevent an erosion of the nonproliferation regime. For this purpose we are ready to use further our bilateral contacts with the Iranian side as well as the mechanisms of multilateral talks and the potential of the United Nations Security Council.
