                  Iran Offers 'Transparency' in Nuclear Talks

   by VOA News

   Iran's president says his country has nothing to offer except
   transparency in nuclear talks with world powers.
   President Hassan Rouhani's comments aired on state television Sunday,
   just days ahead of a fresh round of nuclear talks.
   His critics in Iran claim Rouhani's administration has given up too
   many concessions to the West.
   The president said in the television appearance that Iran would never
   accept "nuclear apartheid" and "scientific segregation" by giving up
   its contested program.

   Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, like medical
   research and power generation.
   The West says Iran is seeking to build atomic weapons.
   President Rouhani said Sunday "Iran has never pursued weapons of mass
   destruction."
   Iran signed a historic six-month deal in November with six world powers
   to curb its nuclear activity in exchange for the easing of
   international sanctions.
