| [Iran Press TV] The rift between Washington and Tel Aviv over Iran's nuclear issue has widened as the Israeli premier and defense minister refuse to meet with US Undersecretary of State. On Friday, May 25, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak refused to meet with the top US negotiator on Iran in Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... Wendy Sherman who had travelled to Tel Aviv to brief Israeli officials about negotiations between Iran and the P5+1--Britannia, China, La Belle France, Russia, and the United States plus Germany. Iran and the P5+1 wrapped up their final meeting in Storied Baghdad on Thursday evening after two earlier sessions of negotiations on Thursday and Wednesday. Sherman delivered her report to National Security Adviser Yaakov Amidror and Foreign Ministry Director-General Rafi Barak instead, Debka file reported. According to her report, no progress was achieved in Storied Baghdad as Iran refused to suspend uranium enrichment at low (3.5-5 percent) or high (20 percent) levels or shut down the Fordow nuclear plant near Qom. Tehran and the six major world powers have agreed to hold another round of talks in Moscow on June 18-19. Another three weeks for enrichment, just what the Iranians wanted... Iran has stressed there would be no progress until the P5+1 recognized Iran's inalienable "right" as a signatory of the Non-Proliferation Treaty to enrich uranium. |
