Negotiation Progressin' Mullahs

Looks like diplomacy is at work between the EU3 and the mullahs.

Iran warned that talks with the European Union could collapse as negotiators met in Geneva Wednesday to discuss EU demands that the Islamic Republic abandon nuclear fuel work in order to guarantee it will not make atomic weapons.

Iran expects the Europeans to accept its proposal to allow uranium enrichment, despite Western demands that it cease all such nuclear fuel work, Tehran's top nuclear official Hassan Rowhani said in an interview published in London's Financial Times Wednesday.

"The Europeans should tell us whether these ideas can work as the basis for continued negotiations or not," Rowhani said.

"If yes fine. If not, then the negotiations cannot continue," he said.

Translation: "If you continue to let us do whatever the hell we want, we can continue talking to you and making you feel good about your diplomacy and talking and such. If you make us abide by international law, the talks are over!"
