President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has several times announced he was ready for direct talks with the US.
But Ayatollah Khamenei's advisers have criticised the president for making such a "submissive" offer, says the BBC's Bozorgmehr Sharafedin.
The UN's nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, has repeatedly accused Iran of not co-operating fully.

[QUOTE]On Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akhbar Salehi welcomed the offer, saying Iran had no "red lines".
"But we have to make sure... that the other side comes with authentic intentions with a fair and real intention to resolve the issue," he said.
The minister said Iran would take the offer into "serious consideration", but the US had to desist from the "threatening rhetoric that everything is on the table".
Iran's supreme leader, however, said negotiations with the US "would solve nothing".
"You are pointing a gun at Iran saying you want to talk. The Iranian nation will not be frightened by the threats," he said.[/QUOTE]
They have a valid point, the US blatantly says 'all options on the table' and the option of bombing Iran's nuclear facilities has been floated a lot by very high up officials on both sides. I'd consider that a gun to their head.

why not quote the IAEA report saying Iran has carried out activities "relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device".

Did you want me too? ok
[QUOTE]The agency wanted to investigate claims that Iran had built an explosive-containment vessel to conduct experiments there, saying such experiments "would be strong indicators of possible nuclear weapon development".[/QUOTE]
But seriously this is in every single BBC article related or about Irans tension with the west. I don't know why you wanted me to quote such a thing that has been known for 8 years.
I really wish the Ayatollah would just hurry up and die already.
