EU to admit Iran nuclear talks have failed.
LUXEMBOURG (AFP) - The European Union will acknowledge Tuesday that nuclear talks with Iran have failed and support a return to the UN Security Council to prepare sanctions, according to a draft document seen by AFP.
Draft conclusions from Tuesday’s meeting of European foreign ministers said that the Union now believes that “Iran’s continuation of enrichment-related activities has left the EU no choice” but to return to the United Nations.
The ministers express “deep concern” that Iran has not yet suspended its enrichment-related and reprocessing activities as required by the International Atomic Energy Agency — the UN nuclear watchdog — and a UN resolution.
Now that everyone acknowledges talks have failed, the EU and UN will immediately launch a series of new talks.
