Ultimatum not acceptable: Rafsanjani | |
2008-07-26 | |
The five United Nations Security Council member states plus Germany have given Iran a two-week deadline to either accept suspension of uranium enrichment - and in return avail itself of Western economic and political incentives - or face further financial sanctions. Ahmadinejad on Wednesday rejected the demand and called on the veto powers “to accept realities” and acknowledge Iran’s right to pursue nuclear projects, including uranium enrichment. “We are ready to remove all international concerns and negotiations are the best framework to do so, and to prove that Iran’s nuclear projects are peaceful and that Iran would never be after acquiring weapons of mass destruction due to religious obligations,” Rafsanjani said. The cleric added that during the 1980-1988 war with Iraq, although the regime of former Iraq president Saddam Hussein used toxic gas against Iranian forces, Teheran refrained from reciprocating and utilised just internationally acknowledged methods of warfare. | |

#3 Of course you can't accept it. Your Parsi ego would explode. Teheran refrained from reciprocating and utilized just internationally acknowledged methods of warfare. No you didn't. Human wave attacks with 10 year old boys out in front to set off the mines is NOT an internationally acknowledged method of warfare. |

#1 Definitely cruisin' for a bruisin'. There's just no talking to these bozos. Never has been any point. I doubt anyone can point to any actual benefit ever achieved through negotiations with them, other than a few cosmetic or appearances-only variations on their SOP. |
