TEHRAN, Iran — Iran indicated Saturday that it has no plans to meet a key Western demand that it stop enriching uranium, a day after Tehran sent the European Union a response to an international offer of incentives for halting enrichment.
The content of that response has not been made public and there was caution about the prospects of progress.
“It was not something that made us jump up and down for joy,” said one European official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
A positive response could open the way to renewed talks. But government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham said Tehran would not change the central part of its controversial program.
“Iran’s stand regarding its peaceful nuclear program has not changed,” Elham said.
