The world waits with bated breath, as super-diplomat Javier Solana flies to Tehran to present the mullahs with the international community’s atomic proposals!
TEHRAN (Reuters) - EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana will present Iran on Tuesday with proposals from six world powers aimed at persuading it to rein in a nuclear program the West fears will lead to it building atomic bombs.
The package of incentives and penalties is intended to get Tehran to abandon uranium enrichment. Iran insists it wants the nuclear fuel only for power plants, not weapons.
The initiative was put together by the three biggest EU states — Britain, France and Germany — and then approved by a forum that also included the United States, China and Russia.
“The proposal we bring along, the one that we carry, we think that will allow us to get engaged in that negotiation based on trust and respect and confidence,” Solana told reporters in brief comments at the airport.
