Britain, France, Germany to meet on Iran nuclear dispute, Straw says

LONDON - Britain's Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said Tuesday he planned to meet his French and German counterparts Thursday to discuss whether to refer Iran to the U.N. Security Council over its nuclear program. Straw said Iran's decision to break seals on its nuclear facilities was a serious error "that we internationally have to consider." He planned to meet with EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Berlin on Thursday to discuss the next step. The three European countries have been spearheading diplomatic efforts over the past two years on behalf of the EU in an attempt to persuade Iran to halt any uranium enrichment and conversion activities.
