MOSCOW, August 24 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's foreign minister discussed Iran's reaction to proposals from six world powers mediating the country's nuclear problem in a telephone conversation with the U.S. secretary of state on Thursday, the Russian foreign ministry said.
On Tuesday, Iran responded to incentives from the five permanent UN Security Council members and Germany largely aimed at persuading the Islamic Republic to end work on enriching uranium, by saying it was ready for "serious talks."
In their conversation, which had been initiated by the U.S. side, Sergei Lavrov and Condoleezza Rice also considered the implementation of a UN resolution on the Israeli-Lebanese conflict.
