TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran rejected on Saturday any suspension of its nuclear enrichment program, after the EU's top diplomat handed Tehran a world powers' offer of economic benefits to try and persuade it to stop such work.

"If the package (from six major powers) includes suspension it is not debatable at all," government spokesman Gholamhossein Elham told reporters.
