Iran Not Serious In Nuclear Talks, U.S. Says, (Baltimore Sun)…Unattributed, July 21, 2008
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice accused Iran today of not being serious at weekend talks about its disputed nuclear program despite the presence of a senior U.S. diplomat, and warned that Tehran might soon face new sanctions. In her first public comments since Saturday’s meeting in Switzerland, Rice said Iran had given the runaround to envoys from the United States and five other world powers. She said all six nations were serious about a two-week deadline for Iran to agree to freeze suspect activities and start negotiations or be hit with new penalties. At the meeting, Iran had been expected to respond to a package of incentives offered in exchange for halting the enrichment of uranium, which can be used to fuel nuclear reactors or atomic weapons.
