EU mulls response to Iran's nuclear talks offer

European nations gave a cautious response today to Iran’s offer to resume talks on its nuclear programme, restating their insistence that the Islamic republic meet demands set by the UN’s atomic monitoring agency to freeze activities linked to uranium enrichment.

“Iran’s got to face up to its responsibilities; it’s got to abide by the strictures and obligations of the atomic energy authority,” said British Prime Minister Tony Blair, in London.
