For the first time in more than a year the global powers dealing with Iranon its nuclear program announced Tuesday that they are ready to resume face-to-face negotiations.
"I have offered to resume talks with Iran on the nuclear issue," said Catherine Ashton, the European Union's foreign affairs chief, who represents the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany in dealings with Iran.

She further hoped that "Iran will now enter into a sustained process of constructive dialogue which will deliver real progress."
For his part, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi had said earlier that Iran and the Group 5+1 are still in discussion over the date and venue for the next round of their talks.
 
According to western papers, the resumption of negotiations is expected to relieve rising pressure from "Israel" to use military force against Iran.
Ashton's positive response to resume the talks comes one day after US President Obama urged "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to give diplomacy a chance on Iran that has always repeated that its activities are purely peaceful.

In parallel, the British foreign secretary, William Hague, issued a statement that supports negotiations with Tehran.
"We all agree that the international community should demonstrate its commitment to a diplomatic solution by acknowledging Iran's agreement to meet, by testing its desire to talk and by offering it the opportunity to respond to our legitimate concerns about its nuclear intentions," Hague said Tuesday.
 

It is worth mentioning that the "Israeli" talk of a pre-emptive attack on the Islamic Republic has driven up oil prices and caused a threat to the already fragile state of a global economy still reeling from a sovereign debt crisis in Europe.
