Iran will not bend to Western deadlines for nuclear talks:
President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad has vowed that Iran would not bend to Western deadlines for nuclear talks after his new government won broad backing from parliament, including a defense minister wanted by Argentina for a deadly 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center.
Iran is a nuclear power and it will not tolerate threats from world powers when they discuss Tehran's package of proposals on October 1, a top aide to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told AFP in an interview.
