 The five permanent members of the Security Council -- the U.S., 
 Britain, France, Russia and China -- along with Germany have offered 
 Iran economic and political rewards if it agrees to consider a 
 long-term moratorium on enrichment and commits to an enrichment 
 freeze before talks to discuss details of their package. 
  
 Reflecting differences over how to deal with Tehran, they gave up an 
 attempt to jointly criticize Iran's defiance Tuesday, after China and 
 Russia refused to endorse U.S.-backed tough language, diplomats said. 
  
 Those two countries have resisted U.S.-led efforts to move to 
 sanctions quickly, despite the passing of the Security Council's Aug. 
 31 deadline for Iran to freeze work on developing enrichment 
 technology. They favor continued negotiations.
