| Iran Official Says Tehran Will Cooperate with IAEA | |
| 2003-09-14 | |
Iran will continue to cooperate with the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, a senior official was quoted as saying Sunday, despite hard-liners' calls for Iran to reject a U.N. deadline to prove it has no atomic arms program. Using softer language than in recent days, Iran's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Ali Salehi said Tehran would not make "nervous and tough reactions" to a tough IAEA resolution last week on Iran's nuclear program. "We will continue our cooperation with the IAEA as before and our clear criticism does not mean we will sever our cooperation with the agency," the state-run Iran newspaper quoted him as saying. But he added that Iran should not show total "obedience to the West's demands" since that "could pave the way for unlimited demands."

| #2 Diplomatic schizophrenia. For their sheer inanity, I love the Black Hats. I hope they are all dead within the next 12 months, ending the pretense and lie of the Khomeini line back to Little Mo. Rafsanjani's death would be a welcome bonus. I hope the US has some hand in it, assisting the Iranians in whatever way we can - and they desire. It should be their show, as it is their destiny, but it would be nice to know that we helped them do it. Like Afghanistan and Iraq, it would make me feel better about a few of my tax dollars... |

| #1 How does their previous cooperation differ from obstruction? |
