May 8, 2006 -- An Iranian government spokesman says President Mahmud Ahmadinejad has written a letter to U.S. President George W. Bush to propose new ways for getting out of the "fragile world situation."

Speaking to journalists in Tehran today, Gholam Hussein Elham said the letter will be handed to the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, which represents U.S. interests in Iran.

The announcement came as the United States is seeking to isolate Iran internationally over Tehran's refusal to halt uranium enrichment. The United States is also backing attempts by Britain and France to win UN Security Council approval for a resolution that would legally require Iran to halt all uranium enrichment work.
