Germany Warns Iran

If the Iranian regime thinks they can restart their uranium enrichment program while negotiating with the EU3, they have just received a wake up call.

Deutsche Welle reports that German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer said:
"It is the foundation of the talks that the uranium enrichment remains suspended," Fischer told reporters on the sidelines of an international conference to review the 1970 nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT).

If the Islamic regime restarts enrichment, he said, "this would lead to a collapse of the talks."
The next stop would then be the UN Security Council. It would appear that US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice may have obtained a stronger commitment from the EU3 than many of us thought.
