UN Nuclear Chief Urges U.S. to Join EU on Iran

Reuters:

The head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog on Friday urged the United States to join forces with the EU to persuade Iran to give up atomic processes that could be used to make weapons. ...

Asked if recent U.S. statements that military action could be used to stop Iran from getting a bomb, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Mohamed ElBaradei said he hoped the United States would opt for diplomacy.

"I would hope that the U.S. eventually would be actively engaged with the Europeans in the dialogue with Iran," ElBaradei told Reuters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in this Alpine ski resort.

"So far, we are getting good cooperation and I think we still have work to do. But I'm optimistic that we're getting good positive cooperation." ...

"There is still a lot of concern about the Iranian program," he said. "The more Iran cooperates the better for them and for the international community."
