ABU DHABI (Reuters) -Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister said on Tuesday the U.S. was sending Tehran contradictory messages about nuclear talks through third countries.

Iran wants to reach "a peaceful nuclear agreement" but will not compromise on national security, Saeed Khatibzadeh told the 12th Abu Dhabi Strategic Debate. He reiterated Tehran's position that it does not seek nuclear bombs.
