The first round of talks on July 11 in Tehran ended without any
apparent progress.

Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad said on July 11 that Iran was ready to clear up issues on the country's nuclear program, but that the West should not expect the Islamic republic to suspend uranium enrichment.

The talks come just days after IAEA Director-General Muhammad el-Baradei said Iran had scaled back its uranium-enrichment program.
