EU troika opposed to refering Iran nuke file to UNSC: Straw

British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw today said the European Union 'troika' of Britain, Germany and France was opposed to sending the Iran nuclear file to the UN Security Council. ''The EU troika is against sending the Iran nuclear file to the UNSC,'' Mr Straw said here after talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov. He added the UNSC had the power to impose sanctions on Iran if the country was found breaching its international obligations. Mr Straw also praised EU's interaction with Russia on Iran. In his remark, Mr Lavrov said Russia and the EU had ''no disagreements over the issue of the Iranian nuclear file''.
