EU Backs Away from New Iran Sanctions
(DPA-Earth Times) EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels on Monday backed away from threatening Iran with fresh sanctions over its controversial nuclear program, saying that the bloc should only bring in new restrictions if the UN Security Council asked. "With Iran, (sanctions) will work out only if all the UN Security Council permanent members agree....The EU is ready to do it, but to get really functioning sanctions, we need all big players in the world to be united behind this decision," stressed Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet.
