Baedinejad added that the date forthe next roundof Iran nuclear talks had not been determined yet.
The UN Security Council, the United States and the European Union, aswell asseveral other countries, have imposed sanctions againstIran inresponse toalleged attempts bythe country toprocure nuclear weapons.
