    Iran rejects deadline at EU nuclear talks

    Iran's chief nuclear negotiator rebuffed Western pressure for an immediate answer to an offer of incentives to suspend uranium enrichment ahead of crucial talks with the European Union on Tuesday.

    The United States, which accuses Tehran of secretly working to build nuclear weapons, has demanded a clear Iranian response before next weekend's summit of Group of Eight industrialized nations in Russia or face possible U.N. Security Council action.

    But Ali Larijani told reporters before he met EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana for a second round of talks in five days: "We have expressed our view regarding the deadline. We are not used to acting before thinking."

    Iran has said it will reply in late August to a package of technology, economic and political sweeteners, and an Iranian foreign ministry spokesman suggested its full answer would only emerge later during detailed negotiations on the offer.

    "Iran's answer will not be given suddenly. The answers will be given during the negotiations," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi was quoted as saying by state radio, adding Tehran saw "ambiguities" in all three areas of the package.

    An Iranian deputy foreign minister said Iran was not considering freezing its uranium enrichment activities as part of a solution.

    "We did it before, we did it for two and a half years. It proved that it didn't work," Manuchehr Mohammadi said on a visit to China. "Nothing came as the fruitful and useful conclusion."

    Mohammadi said Iran was optimistic about what he called Western "flexibility" over the incentives, but warned that any resort to sanctions would be counter-productive.

    Diplomats say Russia and China, both veto-holders in the U.N. Security Council, are wary about imposing sanctions on Tehran and so acknowledge there is little pressure on Iran to give an early reply to the offer presented by Solana on June 6.

    Outside the talks, some 60 supporters of the exiled Iranian opposition waved banners urging "U.N. sanctions to stop the game of the mullahs," insisting Tehran was not interested in solving the dispute and was merely playing for time.
