Iran unlikely to meet UN nuclear demands, claims Straw
2006-04-20
LONDON: Britain does not expect Iran to comply with United Nations Security Council demands to halt uranium enrichment by the end of April, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said on Wednesday. The UN Security Council has asked the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to report by April 28 on Iran's compliance with a council demand that it stop enriching uranium and answer the agency's questions on its nuclear programme.

"We are working on the basis that Iran will not meet the proposals from the Security Council on the 30-day deadline," Straw told BBC Radio Four in an interview from Saudi Arabia. Straw said negotiating with Iran was unpredictable. "But what is most likely to happen is that the matter will move back to the Security Council and there will then be discussions about the next steps which the international community will take," he added. Straw's comments followed a meeting in Moscow of senior officials from the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France %u2013 the council's permanent members %u2013 and Germany.
