VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani offered a 2-month suspension of Tehran's nuclear enrichment program in weekend talks with EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, an EU diplomat said on Sunday.

But it was unclear if Iran would meet the Western demand it suspend enrichment before the start of any talks on trade incentives. An Iranian official denied Tehran had offered any freeze on enrichment.

Larijani and Solana said they had cleared up some misunderstandings in seven hours of talks in Vienna and would meet again in the coming week.

Their upbeat verdicts could slow Washington's push for swift U.N. Security Council action this month to impose sanctions on Iran over its atomic fuel work. Europe had already indicated misgivings about isolating the world's No. 4 oil supplier.
