Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is claiming Iran is making progress in international talks over its nuclear program. In an interview with NBC News, Ahmadinejad said Iran would find “common ground” with the US and five other nations.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: “We are not working to manufacture a bomb. We don’t believe in a nuclear bomb. Nuclear bombs belong to the twentieth century. We are living in a new century. Nuclear energy must not be equaled to a nuclear bomb.”

Iran has until Saturday to reply to an international offer to halt UN sanctions in return for a nuclear freeze.
