Paris Calls for Teheran Gesture Ahead of IAEA Meeting

Xinhua:

France on Friday called for Iran to break the deadlock on its nuclear activities, ahead of the rapidly approaching meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

"We are always waiting for gestures from Iran and we have no positive indications yet," said Jean-Baptiste Matteithe, spokesman at the French Foreign Ministry, who added that the meeting between the Iranians and the Russians has apparently not led to "new or positive elements."

"The meeting of the IAEA's board of governors will take place on March 6. If nothing goes ahead a report that will include an assessment on Iran's nuclear program will be forwarded to the UN Security Council," the spokesman said. READ MORE

Earlier this month, the IAEA referred Iran to the world body which could impose sanctions. But any action has been put off until the report comes out.
