Iran will consider a proposal by the European Union to receive nuclear technology if it abandons its uranium enrichment programme but has not yet agreed to any deal, an Iranian official said on Thursday.‘‘It is just at the initial stage. The matter has to be considered on both sides,’’ Sirius Naseri, a member of the Iranian delegation at a meeting with senior French, British and German officials, told reporters.‘‘What has been agreed is that we will continue the dialogue he said outside the French mission to the United Nations’’, adding that the EU trio had presented their offer in ‘‘more or less clear terms’’.If Iran rejects the EU offer, diplomats say most European nations will back US demands that Tehran be reported to the UN Security Council for possible economic sanctions when the International Atomic Energy Agency meets in November. —Reuters
