New Iran nuclear talks set for May 15 in Vienna

April 23, 2013 @ 8:48 am

VIENNA (AP) - The U.N. nuclear agency says its experts will meet Iranian counterparts on May 15 in Vienna for talks focused on restarting a probe into suspicions that Tehran secretly worked on atomic arms.

Their last meeting in February extended a string of inconclusive attempts by the International Atomic Energy Agency to re-launch investigations stalled for more than five years.

Tehran says IAEA suspicions are based on phony U.S. and Israeli intelligence. It also dismisses concerns that its uranium enrichment program is meant for bombs, insisting the aim is to generate power.

Iran has said it will not agree to cooperate with an IAEA probe as long as demands that it has a right to enrich uranium go unrecognized.

The agency's statement Tuesday confirmed what diplomats told The Associated Press last week.

    Looks like he just got told the truth about his country. North Korea is following their lead, so their people must be hungry and uneducated, just the way they like them.

    Wouldn't it be nice if the US switched our economy to be based on environmentally friendly and sustainable energy and we didn't need to launch war after war just to dominate the natural resources that the middle east possesses?
