U.S.: Iran Plan Is Further Evidence It Rejects Engagement
(AFP) The U.S. said Monday that Iran's plan to build two new uranium enrichment plants is "further evidence" it rejects engagement with the international community. State Department spokesman Philip Crowley added that the U.S. and other powers were reviewing Iranian targets for sanctions and Washington would offer specific proposals to the UN in the coming weeks. President Obama's administration has increasingly turned its attention to sanctions after its first-year bid to engage Iran in talks over its nuclear program yielded nothing concrete. U.S. officials say Iran's behavior shows it does not want to cooperate with the world community.
