  • Story Text: U.N. nuclear watchdog head Mohamed ElBaradei warned Iran on Thursday (July 6) the world was running out of patience because it had not replied to proposals designed to end a standoff over its atomic programme. EU and Iranian officials were due to discuss the issue in Brussels, but Tehran has so far defied mounting international pressure for a quick response and says it sees "ambiguities" in the package of incentives put forward by major powers on June 6.
    On Friday (July 9) he met Turkish politicans and spoke at a conference to be hosted by the Turkish Atomic Energy Agency (TAEK).
    "Nobody asking Iran to give up to enrich uranium but International Community is telling Iran to go through a transitional period adn voluntarily restrain uranium activities until confidence is built" said ElBaradei in the conference.
    ElBaradei also met with Turkish FM Gul. Gul, before his visit to Iran to attend to the meeting in neighbouring Iraq exchange views with Baradei.
