It sets out a range of options but makes no recommendations. We don&#8217;t expect any decision today,&quot; the official said before the start of Monday&#8217;s meeting, speaking on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n<p>A spokeswoman for Solana said she confirmed the document existed but declined to comment further.<\/p>\n<p>The ministers are due to adopt a statement on Iran on Monday, again calling on the country to cooperate with the United Nations nuclear agency and suspend uranium enrichment activities and criticising Iran&#8217;s human rights record.<\/p>\n<p>The statement will also reiterate the European Union&#8217;s preference for a negotiated solution but would not mention possible restrictive measures, diplomats have said.<\/p>\n<p>The document drawn up by Solana was circulated to ministers at their request after their regular meeting in March.<\/p>\n<p>The official stressed it had nothing to do with media reports of the United States contemplating military action against Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of the document was to anticipate what might happen if Iran did not comply with calls from the U.N.
