SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Initial reports indicate Iran is asking for more talks and doesn't mention the incentives-laden proposal, The Christian Science Monitor reported Tuesday.

But Press TV, the official Iranian broadcaster, reported that a senior Iranian security official denied reports that Iran handed over a response.

"What was handed over to (EU) foreign policy chief Javier Solana was a written transcription of the discussions he had with Iran's top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili over the telephone (Monday), not a response to the ... package of proposals", a Supreme National Security Council official said.

"We have received the letter but we do not know its contents yet", a diplomatic source told RIA Novosti, the Russian news agency.

The letter has first to be analyzed by Solana and negotiators from the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council -- China, France, Russia, the United States and Britain -- and Germany. U.S. State Department spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos said a conference call is scheduled for Wednesday.

"Obviously, as we've stated before, we're looking for a clear, positive response from Iran; and in the absence of that, we're going to have no choice but to pursue further measures against them as part of our dual-track strategy" of incentives and sanctions, he said.
