A top European Union diplomat has renewed a call for Iran to suspend uranium enrichment as a condition for new talks with Western nations.
Foreign policy chief Javier Solana spoke today (Tuesday) in Luxembourg, as foreign ministers from EU nations gathered to discuss Iran's nuclear program.
He said there is always hope for talks, but said it is up to Iran to accept the conditions to start real negotiations.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has refused to suspend enrichment activities before new talks.
At today's meeting, EU diplomats are expected to give formal backing for sanctions against Iran by the United Nations Security Council.
A draft statement by EU officials said that recent talks with Iran have failed, leaving no choice but to support possible sanctions.
Western nations accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons -- a charge that Tehran denies.
