EU mulls end to travel ban for Iran minister

European Union member states are leaning toward lifting a travel ban imposed on Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi for his role in Iran's nuclear program, the EU foreign policy chief said on Tuesday.

Last week, the 27-nation EU failed to relax a EU-wide travel on Salehi, a conservative close to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in time for him to attend the annual Munich security conference in Germany. (Reuters)
