(CNN) — Iran has agreed to new talks about its controversial nuclear program with the United States and its allies, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Sunday, the country’s official news agency reported.
Iran made the offer through Turkey, a potential host for the talks, he said.
The United States and other countries believe Iran is trying to develop the technology to build a nuclear bomb, but Tehran consistently denies its program has a military aim.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a top U.S. Senate Republican, said Saturday the United States should consider neutering Iran’s navy and air force if Tehran does not halt its nuclear program.
