Iran will respond on Friday to incentives offered by six world powers to try to entice Tehran to stop enriching uranium, which they fear could result in a nuclear bomb.
Iran's chief nuclear negotiator was quoted as telling the European Union's top diplomat: "The Islamic Republic of Iran's response to the letter by the foreign ministers of the six countries ... will be given today."
State radio said Saeed Jalili, the chief nuclear negotiator, spoke to EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana by telephone and that they agreed to hold further talks later this month.
