Sharon Asks U.S. to Pressure Iran to Give Up Its Nuclear Program
(New York Times) David E. Sanger - Spreading photographs of Iranian nuclear sites over a lunch table at the Bush ranch in Texas on Monday, Prime Minister Sharon urged President Bush to step up pressure on Iran to give up all elements of its nuclear program, according to senior American and Israeli officials. Sharon said Israeli intelligence showed Iran was near "a point of no return" in learning how to develop a weapon. American and Israeli officials insisted Tuesday that they were in total agreement about the nature of the Iranian threat. A senior Israeli official said Tuesday in Washington that "it is not Israel's job to lead this effort." The official warned that "what is worrisome is that there are several European countries that are beginning to think that Iran will be a member of the club, and that is a grave danger."
