Signals from Tehran
[Washington Post] David Ignatius - "We're getting pinged all over the world by Iranians wanting to talk to us," Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns said in an interview Thursday. The problem, says Burns, is that the Iranians haven't yet said the "magic word," which is that they will actually suspend enrichment in exchange for the suspension of UN sanctions. The U.S. and its allies agreed Thursday to tighten the pressure another notch by preparing a second UN Security Council resolution with additional sanctions. Burns said Russia and China agreed to back the new resolution in a meeting Thursday with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
