LONDON, Feb 27 (Reuters) British Prime Minister Tony Blair said today Iran was making a ''big miscalculation'' over its defiance of United Nations' demands that it halt its nuclear programme.

''The comments from Iran are very worrying ... because yet again they are indicating they want to defy the international community,'' Blair told a news conference after Iran said it would never suspend uranium enrichment despite an agreement by world powers to work on a new UN resolution.

''I think Iran is making a big miscalculation,'' he said.
