Un diálogo de sordos (esos diálogos que tanto le gustan a Rodríguez, los de mucho ruido y pocas nueces) se ha establecido entre la UE e Irán tras el anuncio de éstos de retomar su programa nuclear.
La UE:
EUROPE warned Iran yesterday that it faced possible punitive action by the UN Security Council if it resumed its programme to enrich uranium.
The British, French and German foreign ministers and Javier Solana, the EU foreign policy chief, jointly wrote a letter warning of dire consequences if Tehran breaks a commitment made last year to halt the conversion of uranium ore at its nuclear site in Isfahan.
The showdown threatened to trigger a diplomatic row on the eve of the inauguration today of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the Iranian President.
“Were Iran to resume currently suspended activities, our negotiations would be brought to an end, and we would have no option but to pursue other courses of action,” the letter said. It was signed by Señor Solana, Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, and his French and German counterparts, Philippe Douste-Blazy and Joschka Fischer. “We therefore call upon Iran not to resume suspended activities or take other unilateral steps.” The letter was addressed to Dr Hassan Rouhani, the head of the Iranian National Security Council.

A lo que responde Irán pronto:
Iran snubbed Tuesday evening European calls for it to abandon its threats to resume nuclear conversion work and continue negotiations with the European Three – Britain, France, and Germany.
“The time for threats and intimidation is over”, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said in an announcement carried in Iran’s state-run news agency. Fuente.
Y es que hay diálogos que matan…
