Russian Pressure

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said today that Iran must not retreat from it's nuclear issue, otherwise Iran's independence would break and it may retreat from other areas. In an informal meeting in France today, America, France and Britain presented a statement to the 15 council members that would call on Iran to suspend uranium enrichment efforts, and call for a up to date progress report by the IAEA. Russia is still disappointed that Iran rejected it's offer and is accusing Tehran of obstructing efforts to find a diplomatic solution. John Bolton said after the Tuesday meeting, "We're going to keep talking about this. We think it is important to keep 'perm five' unity. We are united in our determination to ensure that Iran does not achieve a nuclear weapons capability."

Peter Pace, chairman of the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Pentagon briefing that he has no proof of any smuggling. "Unless you physically see it in a government-sponsored vehicle or with government-sponsored troops, you can't know it," Rumsfeld said at the same briefing. "All you know is that you find equipment, weapons, explosives, whatever, in a country that came from the neighboring country. With respect to people, it's very difficult to tie a thread precisely to the government of Iran."
