Iran Nuclear Issue : New Meeting
US Secretary of state Condoleezza Rice is traveling to Europe for a meeting in Berlin that is to deal with the Iran nuclear issue. She will meet the other permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany. The Berlin meeting will put the Iran issue back into the spotlight.
“At a news briefing, State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack said the Berlin meeting will go forward regardless of whether an agreement is reached on the statement, and that the aim is to keep the spotlight where it belongs - on Iran and its non-compliance with international nuclear obligations:
“Right now the onus is on Iran,” he said. “The Iranian regime needs to come into compliance with its NPT obligations. It needs to prove to the world that it will negotiate in good faith concerning their nuclear program. It needs to come back into the mainstream. So right now, this is not an issue between the United States and Iran, this is an issue between Iran and the rest of the world.”
