Brussels: Iran missed an informal Saturday deadline to respond to an offer by major powers on its nuclear programme, a European Union official said.
Major powers asked Iran on July 19 to respond within two weeks to their offer to hold off from imposing more UN sanctions if Tehran froze expansion of its nuclear work.
Iran has dismissed the idea of having a deadline to reply.
“There is nothing new (from Iran),” one EU official said on Saturday, adding that the bloc did not really expect an answer over the weekend.
“One should not focus on the deadline too much…what matters is that we get a clear answer quickly, it’s not a matter of one day,” said the official.
European diplomats say they are ready to wait a few more days beyond Saturday’s informal deadline for an answer.
