Iran and EU

The following is an excerpt from an interview with Iran's chief nuclear affairs negotiator, and Supreme National Security Council member Hosein Musavian.

There is nothing that You or I did not know already, but it is a slap in the face of the EU who pretended to believe them:

"Thanks to our dealings with Europe, even when we got a 50-day ultimatum, we managed to continue the work for two years. This way we completed (the UCF) in Esfahan. This way we carried out the work to complete Natanz, and on top of that, we even gained benefits. For 10 years, America prevented Iran from joining the WTO. This obstacle was removed, and Iran began talks in order to join the WTO. In the past, the world did not accept Iran as a member of the group of countries with a nuclear fuel cycle. In these two years, and thanks to the Paris Agreement, we entered the international game of the nuclear fuel cycle, and Iran was recognized as one of the countries with a nuclear fuel cycle. An Iranian delegate even participated in the relevant talks. We gained other benefits during these two years as well."

As usual, when it is almost too late, we will again go running to Uncle Sam and ask him to save us:

President George W. Bush said on Israeli television he could consider using force as a last resort to press Iran to give up its nuclear program.
