CHAIN REACTION FEAR: ElBaradei fears ‘chain reaction’ to Iran conflict (edit: the fear of of a Chain Rection is extremely well founded. One need only look to WWI. Like WWI, the conditions are explosive for a chain reaction of horrid proportions-max) VIENNA: The UN nuclear watchdog director urged Iran and the West to avoid “an uncontrolled chain reaction” towards conflict as he prepared for short-notice talks on Friday with Iran’s national security chief. Ali Larijani will meet International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei en route to Germany, where he will see senior EU officials, the first such contact since Iran was hit with UN sanctions in December over disputed nuclear activity. IAEA officials declined to say what the two men would discuss at their evening meeting in Vienna. ElBaradei has appealed to both sides to take a simultaneous “time out”, with Tehran suspending enrichment of uranium for nuclear fuel and major powers their steps to carry out sanctions, to allay fears of a slide into a U.S.-Iran war. Tehran says it is enriching uranium only for power plant fuel. Western leaders suspect a disguised atom bomb project. “There is an urgent need for creative diplomacy and leadership. A durable peaceful solution will not come through pressure only,” ElBaradei said in an interview with Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine released on Friday. “*If we only focus on sanctions ... that confrontation (risks) ending in an uncontrolled chain reaction ... In the Middle East today, where it’s like a ball of fire, you have to be very cautious,”* ElBaradei said. “We cannot afford to add oil to that fire. The more we have confrontation, the more the Middle East will become militant and angry. We should not ride a train wreck.” Washington is building up forces in the Gulf but says it is committed to diplomacy and has no intention of invading Iran. ElBaradei said a “timeout” could run for three months, allowing time for a comprehensive settlement covering not just nuclear issues but security and trade, which have polarized relations between Iran and the United States for 25 years. He said he hoped dialogue on his proposal would start this weekend at a security conference in Germany.
