Iran has resumed talks with Russia yesterday in Moscow over a Russia-proposed compromise plan to defuse the standoff over Iran's nuclear program, an Iranian official said today.

An Iranian delegation, headed by Seyed Ali Hosseini-Tash, Deputy Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) , has been talking with Russian officials in Moscow since Monday, said SNSC spokesman Hossein Entezami, quoted by the official IRNA news agency.

Monday's resumption of nuclear talks came one day after an Iranian diplomat said that Iran lost interests in the Russian compromise plan.

Earlier on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid- Reza Asefi said the Russian proposal would no longer be on the agenda of Tehran due to "change of the situation."

But on Monday, Hossein Entezami, spokesman of the Supreme National Security, said in light of the new situation, Iran would reconsider a Russian proposal made to defuse the Iranian nuclear crisis.

Russia proposed last December that Iran transfer its uranium enrichment to the Russian territory, holding that the offer would secure Iran's legal nuclear rights while guaranteeing the peaceful use of the technology.

However, earlier talks between Russia and Iran has not produced any breakthrough.
