Visiting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in Jakarta yesterday that Iran was ready to have a dialogue with the United States and other Western countries to overcome the standoff on the dispute of its nuclear program, but he accused the countries of imposing double standard on the issue.

The Iranian President made the statement in an interview with the local Metro TV station.

He reaffirmed that the people of Iran try to make the use of the nuclear energy for peaceful use, has been accused of other intention.

"This all are just political charges. But we are ready to speak to every body to engage in dialogue with every body," said Ahmadinejad.

The president reaffirmed that Iran would use the technology to produce energy for power plants and also for other applications including medicine industry, agriculture and it has nothing to do with nuclear weapons or military purposes.

"There is a tension come from the practice of double standards. There are few powers in the world respond to manipulate science and technology in the world, use it to dominate other nation in the world," he said.

Regarding to the possible sanction from western countries, the president said that it would not be effective as the country has low dependency on the Western countries and the people of Iran would support the government.

The United States is backing a draft Untied Nation resolution that could lead to sanctions and possible military action against Iran if the country does not suspend uranium enrichment.

Iran has said that it will not build a nuclear bomb, but U.S. and European officials suspect Iran secretly develop the nuclear for that purpose.

The Iranian president who came here on Wednesday for an official visit to Indonesia, is to fly to the resort of island of Bali on Friday for a conference of Eight Developing countries.
