The EU will pressure Iran at talks on Wednesday to reply fast to a major powers' package of incentives designed to end a standoff over its nuclear program but Tehran says it must have more time. Diplomats said divisions in the U.N. Security Council over what action to take on Iran meant there was little chance of it rushing to respond either at the Brussels meeting or before a July 15 summit of G8 leading industrialized nations in Russia. "Iran holds all the cards," said one European diplomat with a Group of Eight (G8) country, adding that Russia and China were likely to oppose U.N. Security Council sanctions as long they thought Tehran was giving serious consideration to the offer. |
