Iran Nuclear Watch: Ahmadinejad – European Incentives to Halt Uranium Enrichment – “Without Any Value and Invalid”

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gestures during a press conference at the fifth D-8 Summit in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia, Saturday, May 13, 2006. Iran ‘s nuclear ambitions overshadowed the trade talks among Muslim leaders Saturday, with the country’s hardline president drumming up support for the right to develop alternative energy sources.

ASSociated Press: Iran Rejects Incentives to Halt Enrichment

Iran’s president said Sunday that any European proposal that demanded an end to his country’s uranium enrichment activities would be unacceptable.

“They (must) know that any proposal that requires a halt to our peaceful (nuclear) activities will be without any value and invalid,” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on state-run television. “They want to offer us things they call incentives in return for renouncing our rights.”

European governments are seeking to build on a package of economic and political incentives offered to Iran in August last year in return for a permanent end to its uranium enrichment activities.

The Bush administration had been pressing for U.N. Security Council action against Tehran but recently agreed to put such efforts on hold and give time for new European-led attempts to find a negotiated solution.

So, what else is new?

The Europeans who have been DICKING around with Iran for over two years and who have gotten NOWHERE proposed this carrot and stick approach in lieu of a defeat (veto) in the United Nations Security Council. Iran does NOT care what the Europeans have to offer. Admadinejad and the Mullahs want a nuclear weapon.

With the news of additional enriched uranium having been found in Iran, the ” POINT OF NO RETURN” for Israel and the United States has been moved forward.

NOTHING will come of these negotiations and NOTHING will happen in the United Nations.

America, Israel and some allies will ultimately DEAL with Iran.

Stay tuned……
