Iran Nuclear Watch: TALKS = DEAD END

Members of the ‘National Council of Resistance of Iran’ protest against the Iranian government and the nuclear program near the Foreign Ministry in Berlin on Thursday, Jan. 12, 2006. The British, French and German foreign ministers meet Thursday to agree on a response to Iran’s resumption of nuclear activities, which has pushed international patience to the breaking point.

AP: Europeans Say Iran Talks Reach ‘Dead End’

The British, French and German foreign ministers said Thursday that negotiations with
Iran over its nuclear program had reached a “dead end” and the Islamic republic should be referred to the U.N. Security Council for possible sanctions.

The ministers called for a special session of the International Atomic Energy Agency to decide the referral. The ministers’ call came two days after Iran broke U.N. seals at a uranium enrichment plant and said it was resuming nuclear research after a two-year freeze.

Enriched uranium can be used as a fuel for both nuclear energy and nuclear weapons.

“From our point of view, the time has come for the U.N. Security Council to become involved,” German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.

About DAMN time.

Next stop International Atomic Energy Agency and then the United Nations Security Council.

Military planning continues.
