The European Union and the United States today rejected Iran's call for further talks on its nuclear program, saying the matter must now come before the United Nations Security Council. In Washington, EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said there appears to be nothing new to discuss, now that Iran has broken UN seals on a uranium-enrichment facility. They said it is now up to the UN to decide how to respond.
