VIENNA — Iran offered Friday to negotiate with six world powers about its disputed nuclear program in a new bid to end growing concern that it could be used to produce weapons.
The move, after a hiatus of more than a year, was anticipated in the wake of an invitation to the Iranian leadership last month by chief European Union envoy Catherine Ashton and after repeated statements by Tehran officials that they were ready for talks.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said in a letter to the EU’s foreign-policy chief that Iran is ready to hold talks after Nov. 10 “in a place and on a date convenient to both sides,” the country’s news agency reported.
