What a complete joke. World powers say Iran must curb nuclear ambitions.

BERLIN (Reuters) - The world’s major powers told Iran on Thursday it must heed a U.N. call to curb its nuclear program or face isolation, but Tehran refused to budge. [Who could have forseen it? —ed.]

Britain said Iran could eventually face U.N. sanctions if it failed to suspend uranium enrichment, which can produce fuel for nuclear power stations or nuclear bombs.

In Doha, U.N. nuclear watchdog boss Mohamed ElBaradei said Iran posed no imminent threat and sanctions would be a bad idea.

“We need to lower the pitch,” the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said. “My message to Iran: the international community is getting impatient and you need to respond by arming me with information.”

Might take a while for them to get around to it, Mo, because they’re already pretty busy trying to arm themselves with nuclear bombs. But that shouldn’t be a problem; you’re a patient man. I’m sure you’ll wait.
