Multifaceted talks the P5+1 with IRI to start Today in Geneva.

Tehran has made it clear that the comprehensive talks with P5+1 will not include the nuclear issue as the case has been resolved, Press TV reported.

This is while US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the negotiations should focus "first and foremost" on Tehran's nuclear program.

Clinton added that the talks would also include the initial nuclear fuel swap that the Vienna Group -- France, Russia, the US, and the International Atomic Energy Agency -- proposed in 2009.

During negotiations in Geneva, the Vienna Group offered to ship most of Iran's low-enriched uranium out of the country in exchange for reactor fuel from potential suppliers that is Russia and France.

The US and its allies, which rhetorically but repeatedly allege that Iran may be pursuing a military diversion in its nuclear work, have used their influence in the UN Security Council to press for fresh sanctions against Tehran.

Tehran, which has spiritedly denied the accusations as baseless, argues that as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and an IAEA member, it has every right to pursue and access peaceful nuclear technology.
