Key US senator urges direct US-Iran talks
WASHINGTON: The US should hold direct talks with Iran on its nuclear program and go slow on sanctions, a leading Republican senator said on Sunday in contrast with the Bush administration stance of limited contacts and increased pressure over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
“We need to make more headway diplomatically” before moving toward sanctions, Sen. Richard Lugar, an Indiana Republican, said on the ABC television program “This Week.” The Bush administration has ruled out direct talks with Tehran over what it calls a drive to develop nuclear weapons in defiance of the international community, although it has opened a door to talks limited to Iran’s alleged interference in neighbouring Iraq. State Department spokeswoman Nancy Beck said she had no comment. A White House spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment. reuters

Given the bellicose stand of Iran, I wonder if any good would come out it a direct one to one dialogue!
