Tehran, Iran, Oct. 03 Irans chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani spoke to European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana late Monday by telephone, the official news agency IRNA reported on Tuesday.
The two sides discussed for over an hour the latest developments over Tehrans sensitive nuclear work and agreed to continue their contacts in the days ahead, the report said.
The United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1696 on July 31 demanding that Tehran suspend all its uranium enrichment activities by August 31 or face the threat of sanctions. Tehran missed that deadline.
The chief of the UN nuclear watchdog Mohammad ElBaradei reported on August 31 that Tehran had not suspended its uranium enrichment activities and had blocked IAEA inspectors from inspecting its nuclear facilities.
