US plans new strategies to contain Iran´s nuclear programs

US government officials have declined to publicly discuss possible new strategies. But they say the immediate goal is to get Iran back to the negotiating table.

One senior official says that could even involve allowing Iran to continue enriching uranium at its current level for an as-yet undetermined length of time.

Iran insists it will not give up developing nuclear programs for civilian use.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranian President, said, "Iran will go forward until it can produce the required nuclear fuel for the country and no one can stop the Iranian nation."

The United States announced last week that it will join direct talks with Iran that Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia are seeking to convene.

The talks aim to break a long deadlock over Iran's nuclear program, which the US and its allies fear aims to build atomic weapons. Iran denies the charge.
