"EU won't intimidate us over uranium, says Iranian leader

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed that Iran would not be intimidated by the West over its nuclear ambitions as he was formally sworn in as the country's president yesterday.

Hopes of finding a diplomatic solution to the crisis were dashed when Iran rejected a European Union package of incentives in return for scrapping its uranium enrichment programme. Iran - which said recently that it planned to restart its uranium conversion plant in the city of Isfahan, south of Teheran - faces the threat of international economic sanctions and may be referred to the United Nations Security Council."
