Iran and EU seek to break impasse

Iran's top nuclear negotiator and the EU's foreign policy chief are to meet in Turkey in an attempt to break the deadlock over Iran's nuclear programme.

It is hoped the meeting between Ali Larijani and Javier Solana will produce an agreement on a new round of formal talks aimed at ending the crisis.

EU agrees Iran nuclear sanctions

EU foreign ministers have agreed to implement sanctions against Iran after its refusal to halt uranium enrichment.

The sanctions go further than those already agreed by the United Nations.

The UN sanctions involve a partial arms embargo and a travel ban against people and organisations involved in Iran's nuclear programme.
