"Iran Wants EU Talks Not UN Sanctions Over its Nuclear Program


By Philip White

(EUNN) London - Less than 24-hours after foreign ministers met in Berlin to discuss the growing situation in Iran over its move Tuesday in breaking IAEA seals on nuclear facilities there, EU leaders came away with a request for the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency to inspect Iran's nuclear activities and report back to the UN. If Iran refused, the European Union has joined the United States in asking the UN Security Council to intervene and sanction Iran.

According to the Iran Press Association, Tehran tendered an olive branch Saturday, calling on the Europeans to 'return to the negotiation table and solving the issue peacefully'."
