"Iran needs to change direction. We want a negotiated solution and have extended the hand of reconciliation to Iran time and time again," Hague told parliament. "We are prepared to have further talks but only if Iran is prepared to engage in serious negotiations about its nuclear program without preconditions. If not we must continue to increase the pressure and we are considering with our partners a range of additional measures to that effect," he added, Reuters reported.
