Big powers accept Iran offer of nuclear talks
Six world powers have accepted an Iranian offer for talks on its disputed nuclear programme, the European Union’s top diplomat said on Tuesday, after a year’s standstill that has increased fears of a slide into a new West Asian war.
The announcement by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton came shortly after Russia called for a resumption of face-to-face dialogue as soon as possible, saying an Iranian letter last month showed it was now ready for serious negotiations.
