France Dismisses Iranian Nuclear Counterproposal
(VOA News) French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner rejected Iran's latest move on its uranium-enrichment efforts as a diplomatic "pirouette." In an interview on French radio, Kouchner said it was out of the question the international community would accept an Iranian ultimatum on its nuclear program. He said discussions with the Iranians could continue, but not about Iran's nuclear development. He also noted that the Iranian government was itself divided and that high-level Shi'ites within the government disagreed with the regime.
