The country's top nuclear negotiator said Tehran was ready to enter "serious negotiations." Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, hand-delivered Iran's response to the Western package of nuclear incentives to ambassadors from Britain, China, Russia, France, Germany and Switzerland, state-run television said, without disclosing details.

Funny thing about "the television said."

The story doesn't provide more info than state run television. AP doesn't even say the nation/state. Talk about protecting their sources!

If you stay in the bunker for a few more days you should be safe. Your family is safe and currently being held at CTU headquarters with Jack Bauer.

Interesting and very revealing how they term it "serious negotiations."

That is a direct slap to the face of France, Britain and the former Schroeder government of Germany, who had been negotiating with the Iranians over this for years.

Only now the Iranians say they are ready to enter "serious negotiations." Of course it is still BS but will probably succeed in buying even more time from the useless UN.
