DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Iran's president has made the country's economy a "disaster," but Tehran probably won't compromise on its nuclear aspirations, a think tank official said.
Jonathan Paris of the London-based think tank, the Legatum Institute, said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's power figure, are unlikely to be fazed by Iran's second series of talks with six major powers about its nuclear actions, Dubai's al-Arabiya reported Monday.
