EU Threatens New Iran Sanctions
(AFP) Claire Rosemberg - With frustration mounting over the lack of progress in talks between global powers and Iran, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said Tehran has made no "substantial offer" to reassure the world of its nuclear intentions. "Therefore we must prepare new sanctions....Atomic weapons in Iran are not acceptable," he added. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said, "we consider unacceptable, highly dangerous, the prospect of Iran possessing nuclear weapons." British Foreign Secretary William Hague said it was "necessary to increase the pressure on Iran, to intensify sanctions, to add further to the EU sanctions."
