VIENNA (Reuters) - The head of a global meeting on the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that has been stymied by Iranian objections offered a compromise on Friday to break the impasse, but Tehran said the gesture was not good enough. 

Iran has blocked the required consensus for the agenda of the meeting that is meant to draft priorities for reinforcing the 130-nation treaty, arguing that the text would unfairly single it out as the main threat to the treaty's integrity.
