The Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki Saturday said that Russia’s Security Council Secretary Igor Ivanov would come to Tehran to hold talks aimed “at finding a comprehensive formula for solving Iran’s nuclear case.”

Mottaki also stressed that Tehran would continue its legal activities in the nuclear field, but meantime assured that the Islamic Republic would continue its consultations with all the relevant parties to safeguard Iran’s national rights and remove the concerns that the counterparty might have.

He said that such consultations are aimed at reaching a comprehensive formula.
