I just want to emphasise again that the best course would be for Iran to suspend its enrichment and reprocessing activities so that we can return to negotiations. That is the entire purpose of having pressure on the Iranian regime, so that the Iranian regime can make better choices about how to engage the international community. I would reiterate as well that in May of last year, we offered, the Bush administration offered to reverse 27 years of American policy to engage in the context of the six with our Iranian counterparts. I have said that I would meet my Iranian counterpart any place, anywhere, anytime, should the Iranians decide to suspend their activities, and so that, and the fact that there is a very positive package that the six countries have put together, that should incent Iran (= provide Iran with an incentive) to engage in a positive way with the international community.

SOUNDBITE: (Russian) Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister: \u003cbr/\u003e\"I think we have no differences of opinion on the situation around Iran's nuclear program. Both France and Russia are convinced we should be guided by only one goal: that of preventing the violation of the nuclear non-proliferation regime.\"\u003cbr/\u003e14. Cutaway of media \u003cbr/\u003e15. Lavrov and French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy leaving\u003cbr/\u003eWorld leaders on Wednesday expressed dismay at Iran's failure to meet a deadline by the United Nations Security Council to end its nuclear programme but said the door to the negotiating table was still open for Tehran. \u003cbr/\u003eThe U.N. Security Council had given Iran until Wednesday to freeze uranium enrichment - a process that can produce either fuel for a nuclear reactor or material for a warhead - or face possible tougher sanctions.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The Iranians have unfortunately not acceded to the international community's demands ... we will consult with all of our partners and we'll have to decide how to move forward,\" US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said after a meeting with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier. She did not elaborate.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Tuesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had said Iran was ready to stop its enrichment program, but only if Western nations do the same - something the U.S. and others are unlikely to even consider.\u003cbr/\u003eThe council already imposed limited sanctions on Iran in December, but apparently without success.\u003cbr/\u003eRice expressed hope that Iran might still compromise on its nuclear program, but did not say what action Tehran might face for defying the latest U.N. deadline to suspend uranium enrichment.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The best course would be for Iran to suspend its enrichment and reprocessing activities so that we can return to negotiations. That is the entire purpose of having pressure on the Iranian regime, so that the Iranian regime can make better choices about how to engage the international community.\" \u003cbr/\u003eIn line with other leaders' reactions, she stopped short of closing the door for Tehran to return to the negotiating table. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I think we are all still hopeful that the day is going to come when the Iranians decide to pursue that course rather than one of confrontation.\"    \u003cbr/\u003eUN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon also appealed to Iran to make concessions.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I strongly urge the Iranian authorities to comply first of all fully with the Security Council resolution and continue to negotiate with the international community,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eBan was speaking at a joint news conference with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier earlier on Wednesday.\u003cbr/\u003eSteinmeier said he had given up hope of a return to talks with Iran on its nuclear program, but made it clear it was up to Iran to signal clearly that it was sincere in pursuing them. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I am not giving up hope of succeeding in this, but I say again and again that decisions are needed in Tehran itself,\" he told reporters.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert urged the international community to increase its pressure on Iran, as the deadline for Tehran to halt its uranium enrichment activities ran out.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It appears that up until now the Iranians did not respond in a manner that all of us wanted,\" he said. \"Therefore the international community will have to think of additional measures in order to influence the Iranians to change their basic position.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIn Iran, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pledged to push ahead with his country's nuclear program and said his people would not bow to Western intimidation.\u003cbr/\u003eIran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, but Israel, the U.S. and other Western countries say the program is intended to produce nuclear weapons for hostile purposes. \u003cbr/\u003eThose fears have been compounded in Israel by Ahmadinejad's repeated calls for Israel to be \"wiped off the map.\"\u003cbr/\u003eOlmert has said the international effort should be through diplomatic means, but Israel has not ruled out military action.\u003cbr/\u003eRussia and France also called for unity in the standoff with Iran over its nuclear program, but stressed that the international community should remain open to dialogue with Tehran on the issue. \u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking after a session of the Russian-French security cooperation council in Moscow on Wednesday, Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, said France and Russia agreed on their stance on Iran's nuclear program.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Both France and Russia are convinced we should be guided by only one goal: that of preventing the violation of the nuclear
