Iran is preparing to enter into negotiations over its nuclear program within the tightest deadlines, Iran's ambassador in Moscow, Gholamrezah Ansari, said on Tuesday.

"We proceed from the understanding that all issues can be discussed at such talks," Ansari was quoted by the Itar-Tass news agency as saying.

"We support any event and development, if it has logical backing. Teheran is an advocate of logic. However, we dismiss any pressure or violence," he said.

"Some very significant events have been happening in our region. The problems stem from the fact that some countries seek world domination. It is invalid and unacceptable that the approach to international relations based on the principle -- the one who is not with us is our enemy," the Iranian ambassador said.

"The one who is not with us has the right to existence, too. Normal relations emerge only when there is tolerance towards each other, "Ansari said.

The United States has been seeking to impose sanctions on Iran through the UN Security Council on the grounds that Tehran is developing a nuclear-weapons program under the garb of a civilian- use program. However, Iran has said that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

Iran has said it wants to hold talks with Europe, Russia, China and the United States, but it will not suspend its nuclear work as a prerequisite.
