The US Sets its Sights on Iran (EU prefers dialog) - by Pierre Barbancey

Supported by Arab allies, Bush is putting a strengthened military presence into place that is openly targeting Teheran.At the same time, the British tabloid The Sunday Times revealed Israeli plans for airstrikes in Iran.

Will the EU go along with this new escalation or, to the contrary, promote dialogue with Iran? France prevaricates and is now talking about sending an envoy to Teheran. "A possible dialogue with Iran would involve reaffirming our positions on the regional issues.", the French Foreign Office explained, whereas the Elysee (the president’s office) informed us that "we are not acting in a unilateral fashion and we are in consultation with our partners."
