WASHINGTON, Aug 30 (Reuters) Major powers are expected to begin discussing an Iran sanctions resolution at a meeting in Europe next week if Tehran continues to defy a UN Security Council demand to halt uranium enrichment, the US State Department said today.

On the eve of a UN deadline, spokesman Sean McCormack said the expectation is that Iran will not comply with UN demands so US Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns and top officials from Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany will convene ''early next week.'' He gave no specific time or place.
