WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice responded to Iran's declaration that it had no "reverse gear" on its nuclear program by saying on Sunday that what Iran needed to do was halt weapons-related activities.
Rice said if Tehran did so, the United States was prepared to discussed trade and political issues, and she would be willing to meet her Iranian counterpart.
"The train of the Iranian nation is without brakes and a rear gear," the radio quoted Ahmadinejad as telling a gathering of Islamic clerics. "We dismantled the rear gear and brakes of the train and threw them away sometime ago."
