Brits play good cop?:<<Britain hoping for Iran nuclear agreement 09-Nov-2004 Story from United Press International LONDON, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- A draft agreement on Iran's nuclear activities is awaiting approval from Tehran, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw told the House of Commons Tuesday. "I very much hope that the government of Iran accepts the draft," which was compiled in Paris talks over the weekend, said Straw in televised remarks. The draft includes the suspension of Iran's program of enriching uranium, a requirement that Straw said had been made "repeatedly clear" to the Iranian government. Iran has the right to develop non-weapons nuclear technology for power, under Article 4 of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Straw told MPs that informal discussions had taken place with Iranian officials over the possibility of assistance with such technology. Iran has repeatedly said that it is not developing technology for weapons, though Straw said that as yet there has been little in the way of proof to support this statement. Straw told the Commons that Britain, France and Germany reserve the right to refer the matter to the U.N. Security Council, though he ruled out the possibility of military action, and denied that there was any suggestion of such a move from Washington. "I can see no circumstances in which military action against Iran would be justified, neither is it the policy of her majesty's government," he said.>>
