Iran's Nuclear Brinkmanship
(Chicago Tribune) Editorial- The nuclear crisis will never be resolved diplomatically - if that is possible - until the world speaks with a single voice. For starters, the IAEA must quickly set a deadline for Iran's complete cooperation. The European nations and Russia have much stronger trade ties to Iran, and they must use that leverage to force Iran's hand. The Russians can shut down all cooperation in building a nuclear power plant at Bushehr. The Europeans can threaten and deliver real economic sanctions unless the Iranians come clean, completely and immediately. Diplomatic dithering serves no one's interests, except Iran's.
