U.S., EU Near Iran Deal; Exile Warns of Bomb Plans
(Reuters/Washington Post) A resolution to be submitted to the UN nuclear watchdog's board in Vienna would signal to Iran it would be punished if it defied the International Atomic Energy Agency. "We're not looking for a formal non-compliance resolution at this time, but we're seeking a strong resolution that keeps pressure on Iran to comply with all its obligations," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said. Iranian exile Alireza Jafarzadeh, who has previously released accurate nuclear information about Iran, said Tuesday Iranian leaders decided at a recent meeting to seek an atom bomb "at all costs" by the end of 2005 and begin enriching uranium at secret plants.
