Brussels, 21/09/2005 (Agence Europe) - In response to the very firm draft resolution from the EU-3 (Germany, France and the United Kingdom and who are negotiating on behalf of the EU), submitted to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Tehran made threats on Tuesday to stop cooperating with the IAEA if the Iranian nuclear dossier is transferred to the Security Council. On Tuesday the head Iranian negotiator on the nuclear question, Ari Larijani, declared that, “if they choose to use the language of force, Iran has no other choice but to leave the NPT, to not apply the additional protocol and resume enrichment”, therefore preventing IAEA inspections of its nuclear sites. Larijani also warned that Iran would review the question of its participation in the oil sector with countries that are hostile towards it. Iranian vice president Gholmareza Aghazadeh declared to journalists on Wednesday in Vienna that there had been a misunderstanding about its country leaving the NPT, which was not on the agenda. But the tone changed significantly at the IAEA where the EU-3 submitted a text for a resolution (supported by the USA) calling on the Security Council on the Iranian case to mention sanctions. Europeans consider that Tehran's cooperation with the IAEA was marked by significant concealments, misleading information and delays in access to nuclear materials and installations which led to many breaches of the obligations by Iran vis-à-vis the NPT. On Tuesday in Vienna, the 35 member countries of the Council of governors still appeared divided. US ambassador, Gregory Schulte said that he had seen an increasing majority at the Security Council but Russia, China and several non-aligned countries (Brazil, India, Pakistan and South Africa) did still not appear convinced of this necessity. On Tuesday the Russian foreign minister, Sergi Lavrov described the measures sought by the EU-3 and US as “counter-productive”. In Brussels a source close to the dossier in Javier Solana's cabinet assured EUROPE that sending the Iranian affair to the Security Council had the unanimous support of foreign ministers from the Twenty-Five.
