EU and U.S. Warn Iran Over Nuclear Activity
(Financial Times-UK) Gareth Smyth and Guy Dinmore - The U.S. and EU on Tuesday raised the pressure on Iran over its threat to resume suspended nuclear fuel cycle activities, warning Tehran that they were seeking a special session of the International Atomic Energy Agency and would break off negotiations if Iran reactivated a mothballed facility. In a letter to Hassan Rowhani, the chief Iranian negotiator, from the foreign ministers of France, Germany, and the UK, the EU3 reminded Iran that they would present a new package of proposals by August 7 that would encompass "cooperation on political and security issues as well as in economic and technological areas." The letter also stated the EU's willingness to support "a safe, economically viable, and proliferation-proof civilian nuclear program in Iran."
