U.S. Warns Iran to Maintain Moratorium
Washington yesterday warned Tehran not to resume enriching uranium, a key aspect of a nuclear program it has pledged would remain frozen for the duration of its negotiations with the European Union, Agence France-Presse reported yesterday (see GSN, July 13). “There needs to be an objective guarantee from Iran to make sure that they are not developing nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian program,” said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. “That means there needs to be a permanent end to their uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities. We have made that very clear,” he said. Asked whether the resumption by Iran of sensitive nuclear activities would end Washington’s support for the EU diplomatic effort, he said, “I’m not going to play ‘what-ifs,’ but Iran did make a commitment.” “They need to abide by that commitment. They also need to abide by their international obligations, which they have violated over the last couple of decades,” he said (Agence France-Presse/Yahoo!News, July 13).
