Dead Locking Mullahs

Well, it's a good thing we went with that proven, fool proof diplomatic option with Iran. Right? Right!?

Nuclear talks between Iran and the EU ended Friday apparently still deadlocked over Europe's demand that Tehran give up uranium enrichment, a fuel process which can also make atom bombs, diplomats said.

"The talks were not easy," a European diplomat said, while an Iranian described the negotiations as "very intense" and said the participants were "exhausted."

The talks, which began Tuesday in Geneva, were the most recent round in negotiations on Iran's nuclear program that began in December, a month after Iran agreed to a temporary suspension of enrichment to back up its claim that its atomic program is strictly peaceful.

In Brussels, EU negotiators Britain, France and Germany warned Friday that the negotiations were making slower progress than hoped, but reiterated hope that an accord could be reached.

Hmmm. I guess we'll just have to go with Plan B.
