"No firm reply from Iran on demand to freeze nuclear activity" by Zahra Hosseinian and Sue Pleming, Reuters | August 6, 2008
TEHRAN - Iran delivered a letter to world powers yesterday but gave no concrete reply to a demand to freeze its nuclear activity, a defiant step the United States said amounted to "obfuscation" and could lead to more sanctions.
The U.S. is one to talk about "obfuscations!"
The major powers say they fear Tehran wants to build an atomic bomb. But Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil producer, insists it is only seeking to master nuclear technology to generate electricity.
Translation: ISRAEL SAYS!!!
"It is more of the same from the Iranians - obfuscation and delays," said one US official, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to talk about the letter. "It was not the type of response the international community was looking for."
Translation: Not what ISRAEL WANTED!!!
So WHEN does the BOMBING, Zionist slave?
US State Department spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos warned of "additional measures" against Iran and said the United States would join a conference call with other senior officials from China, Russia, France, Germany, and Britain today when the major powers would decide how to proceed.
Translation: ISRAEL will decide!!!
Diplomats cautioned it would be difficult to pass a fourth round of Security Council sanctions against Iran because of reluctance from Russia, China, and Germany.
