Iran `ready to restart nuclear talks`

Iran has notified the EU it is willing to restart nuclear talks after Nov 10.

Tehran: Iran has notified the European Union it is willing to restart talks about its nuclear program after November 10.

State media report that Iran`s Supreme National Security Council said in a letter on Friday to the EU`s foreign policy chief that Iran is ready to hold talks "in a place and on a date convenient to both sides”.

The negotiations between Iran and a group of six nations that includes the United States foundered a year ago over a deal meant to ensure Iran could only use its stockpile of enriched uranium for fuelling nuclear power stations and not for building bombs.
In Brussels, the EU confirmed it had received the letter. EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton called the offer "a very important" development.
