Iran ready for more U.S. talks over Iraq
Mon Jul 9, 2007 11:17AM EDT

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran is ready to hold more talks with its
arch enemy the United States to help secure Iraq, Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Monday.

In the most high-profile meeting of the two foes in almost
three decades, Iran and the United States held talks in May
to discuss security in Iraq. The two countries have not had
diplomatic ties since shortly after Iran's 1979 revolution.

"We are ready to help preserve unity in Iraq ... and establish
peace and security there," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying
by the official IRNA news agency.

"We did not reject the first round of talks ... The situation is
the same now ... We are ready to help."
