Iran: security pledges can't solve atomic dispute

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Sunday it had little faith in security guarantees from the West as a means to resolve a dispute over its atomic programme, further dousing hopes that EU incentives could stop Tehran making nuclear fuel.

Britain, Germany and France, the so-called EU3, are trying to put together a generous package that could offer a nuclear reactor and security guarantees to Tehran. But their gambit seems doomed with both Iran and Washington unimpressed by the terms. snip

"Firstly, they have not kept their promises and made good on obligations to different countries including Iran in the past so no one should think that such security guarantees are important," he told a news conference.

"America itself needs security guarantees because it has many problems and is not in a position to give security guarantees to other countries," he added.
