AFP: Crunch Iran-EU nuclear talks to start in Berlin

Iran’s top nuclear negotiator was to hold crunch talks with the EU’s foreign policy chief in a final chance for the Islamic republic to agree to a nuclear deal offered by world powers.

The German government said the talks would begin Wednesday at 5:00 pm (1500 GMT), but did not disclose the location.

“This meeting is part of our efforts to find a diplomatic solution,” German foreign ministry spokesman Martin Jaeger said.

Solana’s spokeswoman and an Iranian source close to the negotiations also confirmed the meeting would take place.

“Mr Ali Larijani is in Berlin with his delegation to meet Mr Solana,” the Iranian source told AFP.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said earlier that the talks had been supposed to take place in New York but were switched to Europe because Larijani had visa problems.

The discussions have been billed as a last opportunity for Iran to agree to a suspension of sensitive uranium enrichment activities as demanded by the UN Security Council and stave off the threat of UN sanctions.

THE NUTS: Whether Iran will suspend uranium enrichment and accept the P-5-Plus-1 Offer.

The Washington Times reported yesterday that that Bush administration officials say Mr. Solana has been negotiating a deal with Mr. Larijani that calls for Iran to suspend uranium enrichment for 90 days and to keep it secret, so additional talks could be held with several European nations. Iran has since denied a “SECRET” deal.

Obviously, any suspension or halt to Iranian uranium enrichment would only be acceptable with inspections by the IAEA. The press would stake out those folks and immediately report. End of secret suspension.
Iran’s best deal and most wise course of action is to accept suspension of their nuclear program for a lengthy period of time and receive the gratuities offered by the EU and other P-5 nations.

But…….

IRAN COVETS NUCLEAR WEAPONS

There will be NO DEAL with the P-5-Plus-1 while the fanatical Ahmadinejad and Mullahs control the government of Iran.

Prepare today/tonight for additional stalling and talks about future negotiations.

Stay tuned……
