Iran sees positive signs in UK stance(AP)Updated: 2007-04-02 19:14 TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's state-run radio on Monday cited what it called "positive changes" in Britain's negotiating stance and said because of those, television stations would not broadcast additional videos of British sailors' confessions.
Iran has repeatedly said it was trying to determine the intent of the British personnel before deciding what to do with them, and has demanded an apology from Britain as a condition for their release. Britain contends the sailors were in Iraqi waters and has said it would not apologize. The Iran Broadcasting Company said Monday the 15 alleged confessions would not be broadcast on Iranian news stations, however, due to what it called a change in the British government's negotiating policies. The state-run agency did not provide any further details as to what it meant by that. |
