U.S. to Urge EU to Get Tough on Iran Nuclear Aims
(Reuters) The U.S. will press the EU to get tough with Iran at a meeting of the UN's nuclear watchdog on Thursday, urging a trigger for UN Security Council action if Tehran resumes any uranium enrichment work. "Tehran has been playing the EU and IAEA skillfully while acting as if it has something to hide," said Robert Malley, Middle East and North Africa director for the International Crisis Group think-tank. The Iranians have made clear the freeze will be short and that uranium enrichment is what they term a sovereign right that Tehran will never renounce. Tens of thousands of Iran's Basij militiamen rallied south of Tehran on Wednesday, shouting "Death to America, Death to Israel."
