Iran's Kharrazi: 'EU can't force Iran to give up on uranium'
The European Union cannot force Iran to give up its right to enrich uranium, Iran's foreign minister said, dealing a blow to EU efforts to halt the process and ease fears Tehran is seeking a nuclear bomb.
"Nope. Nope. You can't make us if we don't wanna, an' we don't wanna, so there!" | "It is wrong for them (the EU) to think they can, through negotiations, force Iran to stop enrichment," foreign minister Kamal Kharrazi told a conference in Tehran on Tuesday. "Iran will never give up its right to enrichment."
Hokay. So much for the negotiations idea... | Diplomats said EU had agreed on Monday to prepare a package of "carrots and sticks" to get Iran to comply with demands by the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to suspend enrichment activities a process which can be used to make material for atomic bombs.
They just told you, that's not going to work. Sounds like military action is called for. I'm sure the European forces are mobilizing even as we speak blog... |
