Negotiations between major powers and Iran on the country's disputed nuclear program are taking place "in an atmosphere that is not positive". The talks were launched on Monday in Moscow. Mood "not positive" at start of Iran negotiations "The atmosphere has not been positive. The main problem is to determine the format (of the negotiations)," said an Iranian official, but added that this was a "preliminary estimate". Head of the Iranian delegation Saeed Jalil met today with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who is also the representative of the so-called 5+1 group - the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany. It is expected that Iran will insist on its right to enrich uranium, and to also try to ease the sanctions imposed against the country by western states. The west believes that Iran is hardest hit by an international embargo on oil exports. At the same time, five permanent UN Security Council members and Germany are asking Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment, which is near the level needed to produce material for nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes - to generate electricity and medical isotopes. Catherine Ashton and Saeed Jalil (Beta/AP) Beta
