Tehran Rejects EU Bid to Delay Nuclear Proposals
Iran rejected a request from European negotiators to postpone by a week their announcement of proposals for resolving the dispute over its nuclear program.

The proposals are part of an agreement reached in May under which Iran would extend its suspension of nuclear activities in return for a comprehensive European plan for resolving the dispute.
