Iran announces date for nuclear talks but not venue

Stalled talks between Iran and world leaders over its nuclear ambitions will resume April 13 at a yet-undetermined venue, the country's state-run media reported Wednesday.

The announcement, by Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, comes amid growing pressure from world powers over Iran's controversial nuclear program.

Salehi made the announcement Wednesday at a ceremony welcoming Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Tehran, the IRNA news agency reported.

A venue had not been set for the talks but Istanbul has offered to host, Salehi told the news agency.

    Isn't it wonderful that they have graced the world with the priviledge of speaking to them at their convenience? Sorry, is my sarcasm showing?

    The German DM voicing the sentiments of other powers said today " Israel doesn't take the consequences of Iran war seriously". So don't our politicians and those in the corridors of power who keep on parroting the cries emanating from the those who rule that country.
    We should just pray that sanity prevails for once and we are not dragged into an inferno of unpredictable dimensions.

    Instead of calling this "NEWS', shouldn't they be calling this "OLDS' ? As in same "old" rhetoric.

    How about holding the meeting in the underground, un-penetrable nuclear facility? They cold serve green tea, and yellow cake!

    Venue? Just use the American Embassy. It's been vacant for over 30 years.

    And on Iran. All they do is talk. They can't be stupid enough to fire a nuclear missle at someone.

    They don't have a nuclear missile to fire. When & even if they have it "they will not pose an existentialist threat to Israel" says the Mossad chief.
