A spokesman for the European Union executive told a press briefing: “The Commission very much hopes for a negotiated solution. We would also hope that no steps would be taken over the coming days to endanger such a negotiated solution.”
The EU’s three major powers — Britain, Germany and France — are due to put a comprehensive package of proposals to Tehran by Saturday for nuclear, economic and political cooperation provided Iran renounces nuclear enrichment-related activities.
Iran told the U.N. nuclear watchdog on Monday it would remove seals and resume activity at its Isfahan uranium ore conversion plant, a spokesman said.
