EU mulls Iran reactor incentive
`European Union states are reportedly considering reviving an offer to Iran of a light-water nuclear reactor to persuade it to halt uranium enrichment.
Britain, France and Germany will raise the idea with the US, China and Russia on Friday, an unnamed EU diplomat says.
The EU is preparing a new package of measures that it hopes will convince Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions.
The EU and the US fear that Iran – despite its denials – is actually trying to develop nuclear weapons.
Iran says its nuclear programme is aimed at meeting its energy needs only and insists on its right to enrich uranium. ‘
