Iran's nuclear negotiator resigns

Iran's chief negotiator with the West over Tehran's nuclear programme, Ali Larijani, has resigned.
A government spokesman said Mr Larijani had repeatedly offered his resignation and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had finally accepted it.

Mr Larijani had differences with the president over how to proceed with the negotiations, correspondents say.

Western countries suspect Iran of trying to build nuclear weapons but Tehran says its programme is peaceful.

The spokesman, Gholam Hossein Elham, said a deputy foreign minister, Saeed Jalili, would replace Mr Larijani in time for a meeting on Tuesday with the European Union's foreign policy head Javier Solana.

Maybe he got tired of overtly lying.

Maybe Putnam offered him a better job?

Iran says it has the right under the international Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to develop nuclear power.
