VIENNA, Austria -- The European Union's foreign policy chief and Iran's senior nuclear negotiator tentatively agreed to encounter Wednesday in a last-ditch attempt to bridge differences through Tehran's atomic program, U.N. and European officials said. With the Vienna meeting seen as the last chance for Iran to avoid sanctions, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan threw his weight behind a negotiated solution, saying Monday that confrontation with the Security Council "will not be in Iran's favor or that of the region." At issue is Tehran's defiance of the Security Council's deadline for it to be frozen uranium enrichment.
