-- GENEVA -- Tehran on Saturday ruled out freezing its enrichment program, casting doubt over the sense of key nuclear talks between Iran and six world powers less than an hour after they began.**********
UPDATE: Enough with the "soft power" bullshit
State department spokesman Sean McCormack issued a strongly-worded statement in Washington.How about a new exit strategy for U.S. forces in Iraq... maybe they can leave by way of Tehran.
"We hope the Iranian people understand that their leaders need to make a choice between co-operation, which would bring benefits to all, and confrontation, which can only lead to further isolation."
