Iran has until July 12 to stop enrichmentIran has until July 12 to stop enrichment
By GEORGE JAHN, Associated Press Writer
VIENNA, Austria - Western powers will reactivate efforts
to punish Iran through possible U.N. Security Council
sanctions unless it suspends uranium enrichment
and agrees to talks on its nuclear program
by July 12, diplomats said Monday.
The envoys — some of them senior U.N. diplomats,
and all familiar with details of the six-nation drive
to persuade Iran to compromise on its nuclear activities —
spoke just two days before a key Iran-
European Union meeting in Brussels meant to make clear
to the Iranians that their time is running out.
On Wednesday, senior EU envoy Javier Solana
will urge top Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani
to commit his country immediately to suspending enrichment
and starting negotiations, the diplomats said.
