EU, Iran close to deal for nuclear talks: report
Tue Sep 26, 2006 4:03am ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iran is close to a deal that would include a temporary suspension of uranium enrichment and clear the way for nuclear talks but Tehran wants to keep the agreement secret, The Washington Times reported on Tuesday.

The deal could be completed either Tuesday or Wednesday when EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and Iranian negotiator Ali Larijani are set to meet in Europe, the report said, citing Bush administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

In Brussels, a spokeswoman for Solana said he had no plans to meet Larijani on Tuesday and would be staying in Brussels all day.

The spokeswoman, Cristina Gallach, declined comment on the Washington Times report but said senior EU official Robert Cooper and Iranian official Javad Vaedi had held talks in Paris on Monday.
