The announcement by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad comes less than a month before Iran’s presidential election. The vote could determine how Tehran responds to Washington’s threat of further international sanctions if Iran does not respond positively by year-end to U.S. attempts to open negotiations on its nuclear program.
