Europe in holding pattern on Iran negotiations
 France will wait for a report next month by the UN nuclear agency on Iran's controversial atomic program before deciding what steps to take next, Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said Friday. At an emergency meeting Thursday the 35-nation board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called upon Iran to halt nuclear fuel cycle work and ordered the UN watchdog to report on September 3 on Tehran's compliance with international safeguards. "We're waiting for the report," Douste-Blazy said during a visit to the UN's European headquarters. "We'll see what happens ... We'll decide what we need to do."Posted by: Seafarious 2005-08-16 |
