Bush: 'No' to Pakistan nuke deal Iran flexible on nukes

Tehran - Iran criticised what it described on Sunday as the double standard in US nuclear policy, citing Washington recent deal with India as an example.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hamid Reza Asefi also said Washington was systematically trying to show Tehran in a bad light.

"The United States' approach is a form of double standards. It signed a contract with a country that was not a member of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. That is objectionable. On the other hand, it approaches Iran in such a (bad) way," Asefi told a news briefing.

Last week, US President George W Bush signed an agreement with India for America to provide it with nuclear fuel, reactors and know-how to help meet its growing demands for power.

"Any time that the conditions over Iran's nuclear case appear good, the United States expressed pessimism and impedes progress," he said.
