Washington talks tough to New Delhi and Beijing on Iranian nuclear issue

January 25, 2006, 6:28 PM (GMT+02:00)

US ambassador David Mulford warned New Delhi that the landmark US-Indian nuclear deal could “die” if India backed Iran at the coming International Atomic Energy Agency’s crisis talks in Vienna. The deal entails American sharing civilian technology with and supplying nuclear fuel to India in return for Delhi separating its civilian and military programs and permitting international inspections.

In China, deputy secretary of state Robert Zoellick warned Beijing that it would be “extremely dangerous” for its oil supplies from the Middle East to allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. He advised China to steer in a different direction.

China refrains from supporting the US-backed proposal to take Iran’s nuclear activities to the UN Security Council and holds its veto power over possible sanctions.

Both booming economies are dependent on Iranian oil.
