Talks between Iran and six world powers were “a step forward,” Iran’s president said.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told reporters in Iran Sunday that the previous day’s negotiations, which included the participation of U.S. State Department official William Burns, were “forward-moving.”

Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, would not discuss a freeze on the country’s nuclear work, insisting it was for peaceful purposes.
