Iran deal 'full of opportunities'

EU policy chief Javier Solana has said the new package of incentives offered by world powers to Iran to halt nuclear enrichment is "full of opportunities".
Mr Solana, who made the offer in Tehran, said the six powers were ready to help develop Iran's nuclear energy programme for peaceful purposes.
The deal also involves trade benefits but Iran has warned it will reject any demands to halt uranium enrichment.

"We are ready to co-operate with Iran in the development of a modern nuclear energy programme based on the most modern generation of light water reactors," he told a press conference after meeting Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, as well as the country's top nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili.
