Iran Says Enrichment Rights Are Non-Negotiable

Perhaps Senator Fluffy can go in and send some hope and change to his buddy Mahmoud to change Iran’s mind

Iran will not give up its right to enrich uranium, a senior Iranian official said on Saturday, days before major powers submit an upgraded package of incentives to try to coax Tehran into halting the work.

“Suspending enrichment is not negotiable … Depriving Iran of its right cannot be on offer,” Gholamhossein Elham, the government spokesman, told a weekly news conference.

Iran has agreed to a visit by EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana to submit the package of incentives, in exchange for a full suspension of uranium enrichment.

The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council — the United States, France, Britain, China and Russia — and Germany, known as the P5+1, offered a package to Iran in 2006 that also required Iran to halt enrichment.

If only we were engaging Iran in unilateral talks, but, no, the pResident ‘n cowboy has to go it with other countries, damnit!
