Iran Says No Room for Talks with US

TEHRAN - Iran's government spokesman and cabinet secretary Abdollah Ramazanzadeh said on January 24 that he saw no chance of direct talks with the United States while Washington uses "threatening language". On January 17 US President George W. Bush said that he could not rule out using force if Tehran failed to rein in its nuclear plans, and US Vice-President Dick Cheney also warned that Israel might launch a preemptive strike on its own to shut down Iran's nuclear program.
