Iran's Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said Sunday that Iran would carefully evaluate the new package offered by the world powers but would not drop its international rights to pursue nuclear technology, DPA reported. "We welcome the settlement of the nuclear issue through negotiations but reiterate that the nation's will (to pursue nuclear technology) is in line with international regulations and recommend (the West) not to waste time by hoping that Iran might forget about its rights," Larijani told the parliament. European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana on Saturday gave Iran an updated package of incentives by the five veto powers plus Germany (5+1) to persuade the Islamic state to follow international demands and stop uranium enrichment. Iran has said it would evaluate the package, and ISNA news agency reported that the parliament would also be involved in the evaluation process.
