EU sees Iran referral to UN as its sole option
2005-09-18
Had enough, did you?
UNITED NATIONS - The European Union said on Saturday that referring Iran’s nuclear program to the UN Security Council was its sole option after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad affirmed Tehran’s plans to press ahead with producing nuclear fuel. “The EU’s reaction to Mr. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speech is that the language he used leaves us no alternative but to pursue a U.N. referral,” an EU spokeswoman said.

She spoke with Reuters after a meeting in New York of top diplomats from the 25-nation bloc. “However, we want to build an international consensus on the matter. So we will be consulting with everybody,” she said.

The statement did not rule out a delay in the EU and the United States asking the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency to refer the Iran dossier to the 15-nation Security Council. The board of the UN nuclear watchdog is meeting on Monday in Vienna.

#2  This reminds me of a Jeff MacNelly cartoon of about 20 years ago. A voice is heard from the Hotel Wyoming saying, "Boy this new MX system will really put Cheyenne on the map!" In the next frame can be seen a Soviet general briefing Andropov, pointer in hand, pointing at "The Map."
