TEHRAN, May 8 (UPI) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed a letter to U.S. President George W. Bush through the Swiss embassy in Tehran, officials said Monday.
Government Spokesman Ghulam Hussein Elham was quoted by the official Iranian News Agency, IRNA, as saying Ahmadinejad "proposed in his letter new ways for coming out of the existing grave international conditions."
"The president in his analysis of international conditions and the search for the roots of problems made new proposals for coming out of the critical situations," Elham added without elaboration at a weekly press conference.
He said the letter was confidential and he could not disclose its contents or Ahmadinejad's proposals.
On Iran's controversial nuclear case, Elham said, "if the matter is based on not implementing international laws and if world organizations failed to assume their neutral and independent role in securing the application of treaties, it is most natural that the Iranian government would keep its right to review and reformulate its relations once again."
Asked if Iran will pull out from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if international sanctions were imposed on its nuclear program, Elham said, "Iran considers itself committed to international treaties in line with its national interests."
The Iranian president, a radical former mayor of Tehran, said earlier that he planned to send letters to certain world leaders.
