PARIS, July 25 (Reuters) - U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama called on Iran on Friday to move quickly to accept an offer of trade and technical incentives to halt its uranium enrichment programme.

Speaking at a joint news conference with French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris, Obama said Iran should not wait for the next U.S. president to be elected to accept the offer from the six world powers.

"Iran should accept the proposals that President Sarkozy and the EU 3 plus 3 are presenting now. Don't wait for the next president because the pressure, I think, is only going to build," he said.
