Iran on Sunday said it would not agree any new package of incentives offered by the international community that "violate rights of the nation", the official IRNA news agency reported.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini made the remarks at his weekly press conference, adding "no new package has yet been presented by the European party to Iran."
Local analysts said Hosseini obviously referred that Tehran would never suspend it's uranium enrichment work, a key process could produce fuel for powerplants but also can be used to make nuclear weapons.
Diplomats in Washington said on Friday the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China plus Germany would in the coming days present Tehran a renewed package of incentives to persuade Iran stop its nuclear work.
The details of the new package have not been made public yet. Iran has firmly rejected a previous proposal brought forward by the international community in 2006.
The UN Security Council has already imposed three rounds of sanctions against Iran's nuclear ambitions since Tehran rejected those 2006 incentives, but Iranian officials repeatedly said the country would never abandon it's legal rights under Non-Proliferation Treaty and international regulations.
Iran has said it's nuclear drive was just for peaceful purposes, but the U.S. and it's Western allies have accused Tehran of developing nuclear weapons under a civilian cover.
