Press TV- Deputy Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Baqeri says Tehran is prepared to adopt confidence building measures if the six major world powers of the P5+1 take fundamental steps.


“In different meetings since 2008, Iran has always considered as unreasonable the adoption of an approach of pressure by the other side, and underlined step-by-step moves and reciprocal measures,” Baqeri said on Sunday.

“If they (the P5+1) take fundamental steps, the Islamic Republic is prepared to contribute to this confidence building,” added the Iranian official.

Iran and the P5+1 (Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States plus Germany) wrapped up their latest meeting in Baghdad on May 24 after two days of negotiations.

Baqeri said Iran's approach in the nuclear issue is reasonable and is based on the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Iran and the P5+1 have agreed to hold another round of talks in Moscow on June 18-19.
