Iran remained defiant over its nuclear programme on Monday as representatives of six major powers prepare to meet in Germany this week to look at ways of persuading it to curb its atomic ambitions.The unyielding comments from parliament speaker Ali Larijani, a former lead negotiatior on the nuclear issue, came despite overtures from the new US administration of President Barack Obama, who has offered Iran an extended hand of diplomacy if its leaders "unclenched their fist."
