Iran and EU split because of Tehran's nuclear program

Talks over Iranian nuclear program reached a deadlock

Another round of talks on the future of Iran's nuclear program between Iran and EU is almost brought to naught. Iranians' meeting with joint delegation from France, Great Britain and Germany on 31 August will not take place because Isfahan UCF recommenced its nuclear activity. Seems like strict positions both of the new Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the West can turn Iran into new flash point.

snip...
Changes came with the turn of the centuries. Already powerful EU tried to carry out its own policy and chose Iran as one of its guidelines. Europeans had all the advantages at their hands. That was the time of Iran's president Muhammed Hatami, who was open to talks with the West. While the USA and Israel were threatening Iran with attacks, France, Great Britain and Germany carried on a dialogue that resulted in signing Paris pact last year to stop enriching uranium activity for temporary period.

New conservative president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad brought new changes on 24 June. In the US there were claims that the new leader of Islamic republic belonged to the terrorist group that took hostages of the US embassy in 1979, although CIA had to refute these statements later. Nevertheless the new leader made it clear that Iran would start removing all the restrictions of the nuclear activity. George Bush responded by saying, "All options are on the table. The use of force is the last option for any president. You know we have used force in the recent past to secure our country".

3. Seems to me that when Iran starts trading oil in Euros instead of Dollars
Edited on Fri Aug-26-05 12:53 AM by Dover
next year, the EU will go along with whatever Iran wants to do and stands to gain from it. Of course while they would prefer Iran NOT harbor nuclear weapons, I'm sure Iran feels its their only security against an agressive U.S. and its failing dollar economy.

Iran has many new partners counting on its oil trade. The U.S. is the only one who will be worse off for the change. Who will stand with the U.S.?
