Iran has welcomed an offer of talks with six world powers over its nuclear programme, state television says.
Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili spoke to EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and discussed the proposals, Iran's news agency ISNA said.
"[Iran] welcomes discussion with the group of six for a constructive cooperation", Mr Jalili said.
Last week the six - US, Russia, China, France, UK and Germany - said that they were inviting Tehran for talks
However, if the past is any indication of the future, talks will only buy Iran the time it needs to continue with its program.
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel has lobbied Russia to pull away from selling a strategic air-defense system to Iran but has received only vague assurances, Israeli defense sources said on Monday.
Last week Israel agreed to supply surveillance drones worth $50 million to Russia. The Israeli Haaretz newspaper said this followed a pledge by Moscow not to sell Iran the S-300, which could protect Iranian nuclear facilities against air strikes.
An Israeli defense official said he had no knowledge of such an undertaking by Russia in its talks with Israel on the matter. Moscow has given mixed messages on the prospects of Iran buying S-300s, a deal one Russian newspaper valued at $800 million.
Well we should take a wait and see attitude
I hate it when Israel gets dragged into the topic when it's not part of the story.

Israel does not want to wait to even give diplomacy a chance. They've stated repeatedly they just want to solve this issue once and for all with military action.
Disregarding everyone else's wishes.

I'm not a big fan of Israel. But even they cant be that stupid to pull some sort of military action while Iran is in some heavy political discussions with the above mentioned parties.
