Iran president says no need now for US talks

TEHRAN, Apr 24: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today said there was no need for US-Iran talks now that a permanent Iraqi government was in place.

Asked whether he believed Iran and the United should still hold talks over Iraq, he said: ''By God's will, we think that right now, because of the presence of a permanent government of Iraq, there is no need.'' He also said he did not expect sanctions to be imposed on Iran over its nuclear programme.
