Tehran: Iran told Britain not to cross any "red lines" when preparing incentives aimed at ending Iran's nuclear row with the West, Iran's foreign minister said on Saturday.
World powers met in London on Friday and said they would offer new incentives to encourage Iran to stop its controversial nuclear work.
Iran has insisted on its right to carry out such work, denying accusations that it is secretly developing nuclear weapons.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr said he recently met his British counterpart, David Miliband who told him that world powers would meet in May to "write a letter" to Iran.
"I told him that 'You have used a word, and I think it is a forbidden word ... Don't pass those red lines. Be careful about that'," Mottaki said without saying what those "red lines" were.
