BAKU (AFP) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said Iran will change its policies if asked to do so by the UN nuclear monitor.

Ahmadinejad told journalists in the Azeri capital that Iran would pursue its civilian nuclear programme within the framework of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and in coordination with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

"It is natural if they want to put limitations on us (that), corresponding with those limitations, we will change our policies," he said Friday, according to the English-language translator at the press conference.

Iran is under international pressure to abandon its nuclear power programme, which Western countries say could be hiding a project to construct an atomic bomb.

The IAEA confirmed last month that Iran had not complied with a UN Security Council demand to freeze uranium enrichment, opening the way to action by the council against Tehran.
