The world’s big powers have been told to expect a formal response as soon as Tuesday from the Tehran government that sets out an initiative designed to restart negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme.
The letter follows a conversation on Monday between Javier Solana, the European Union’s foreign policy head, and Saeed Jalili, Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator, that was described by Mr Solana’s office as inconclusive. Further talks “were not ruled out”, a spokesman said.
