"It is possible that in the near future talks in different fields will take place with the United States," Mr Ahmadinejad said in comments reported by Irna.
He added that in the next months "certain things will happen" and insisted that no power in the world could afford to ignore Iran.
"If the United States wants talks with Iran in fair conditions we welcome that. Nobody, so far, has rejected that."

i never said Iran was a saint.
they never declared war on the US in 1979 they just overthrew the puppet the US installed to drain their resources (how some people forget history )
never threatend?
so all the Israel threatens Iran with attack
the US says attacking Iran is still on the table
the Bush gives Israel amber light to attack Iran

Timing of weapons test can say just as much as an actual bombing run. We never threatened an attack and we told Israel to back off. Stop pretending Iran a freaking saint in all of this. They've done more to keep oil prices high than anyone else. They declared war on us in 1978 ands we ignored them. Now they've declared a financial war on us. Keep an eye out for when A-Jad opens his mouth and connect the dots.
The fact is that the US has a long history of provocation and covert action inside Iran.
The In 1953 the CIA and MI6 carried out Operation Ajax (officially TP-AJAX), a covert operation by the United Kingdom and the United States to remove the democratically elected nationalist cabinet of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh from power, to support the Pahlavi dynasty and consolidate the power of Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in order to preserve the Western control of Iran's hugely lucrative oil infrastructure.
In planning the operation, the CIA organized a guerrilla force incase the communist Tudeh Party seized power as a result of the chaos created by Operation Ajax. According to formerly “Top Secret” documents released by the National Security Archive, Undersecretary of State Walter Bedell Smith reported that the CIA had reached an agreement with Qashqai tribal leaders in southern Iran to establish a clandestine safe haven from which U.S.-funded guerrillas and intelligence agents could operate.
The conspiracy centered around having the increasingly impotent Shah dismiss the powerful Prime Minister Mossadegh and replace him with General Fazlollah Zahedi, a choice agreed on by the British and Americans after careful examination for his likeliness to be pro-British.
Zahedi was installed to succeed Prime Minister Mossadegh. The deposed Mossadegh was arrested, given a show trial, and condemned to death. The Shah commuted this sentence to solitary confinement for three years in a military prison, followed by house arrest for life.
“If there had not been a military coup, there would not have been 25 years of the Shah’s brutal regime, there would not have been a revolution in 1979 and a government of clerics,” Ibrahim Yazdi, a former foreign minister and leading member of a political party that traces its origins to Mossadegh’s National Front, told the Christian Science Monitor on the 50th anniversary of the coup and installation of the Shah. “Now it seems that the Americans are pushing towards the same direction again. That shows they have not learned anything from history.”
