Iran: Next IAEA Report To Be Positive
Larijani
TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Iran’s former chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani predicted Monday that the report by European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana on Iran would be positive.
Talking to students of the Sharif technical university in Tehran, Larijani said that ‘if everything is handled (by the two sides) correctly and carefully, then the report would be positive.’
Solana is to meet Larijani’s successor Saeed Jalili on November 30 in London to discuss the political aspects of the dispute over Iran’s nuclear programs.
Larijani, Solana and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) agreed last August to make a so-called work plan for clarifying all outstanding technical issues of the Iranian atomic projects.
The resulting IAEA report was then scheduled to be basis for the political talks between Solana and Tehran.
The IAEA report issued earlier this month in Vienna acknowledged Iran’s increased cooperation with the IAEA and praised Tehran’s truthfulness about past nuclear activities.
Larijani said that the IAEA report showed that Iran has fulfilled all its commitments and was ready to negotiate about the issue.
While referring mainly to the United States which seeks another United Nations Security Council resolution and harsher sanctions against Iran, Larijani added that Solana should know that ’some countries do not want to keep the issue on the right track.’
Jalili said last Thursday that he would present Solana a ‘new idea’ for settling the dispute but refrained to disclose any details.

Yeah, POSITIVE that Iran is building nuclear weapons.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:23 amThe IAEA has wrestled with the Iran-Nuke issue for years and were not able to accomplish anything. Apparently the world forgot that 17 NATO resolutions against Saddam were useless too.
The world needs to recognize that politics do not alter the actions of dictators bent of domination.
