Iran Says Western Offer 'An Acceptable Basis' For Talks

This from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty about 2 hours ago:
July 16, 2006 -- Iran said today that an incentives package presented last month by Western powers was an "acceptable basis" for negotiations over Tehran's disputed nuclear program.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi urged negotiations over the program.

Asefi's remarks came just as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking in St. Petersburg, told reporters that Iran will respond "soon" to a package of offers aimed at encouraging Tehran to halt sensitive uranium-enrichment work.
What do you make of that, then?
