The official Iranian news agency, IRNA, called the U.S. offer a "propaganda move," saying it is not in Iran's interest to halt uranium enrichment.

President Bush said Wednesday it is important for Washington to take the lead in trying to end the dispute over Iran's nuclear program.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the U.S. is committed to a diplomatic solution, but that Washington will keep all options open if Tehran continues to enrich uranium.

The European Union welcomed the U.S. offer. European officials said it strengthens an incentives package for Iran proposed by Britain, France and Germany. Their foreign ministers will meet Thursday in Vienna with officials from the U.S., Russia and China to discuss the package.

how did we come to this?
