The European Union will offer Iran a detailed proposal by the end of July on how to resolve their differences over Tehran's nuclear program, Iran's chief negotiator Hassan Rohani said on Wednesday.

"We believe that we could reach a reasonable agreement within a reasonably short time," he said, adding Iranian negotiators would be reporting back to the Tehran government on the EU offer.

In return, Iran gave guarantees in the meeting with the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany that it would stick by an accord not to resume sensitive nuclear activities.

"We will remain committed to all our promises," Rohani said. ...
