Rather than acting to regain international confidence, Iran is moving ahead brazenly with its enrichment program, continuing its determined, step-by-step effort to acquire the material, technology and know-how to produce nuclear weapons. |
The authorities in Tehran, rather than threatening the world, should listen to the world and take the steps necessary to start regaining its confidence. |
The council will then be able to provide the wider authority the Agency needs to investigate Iran's deeply troubling nuclear activities. |
The Director General's report will now be transmitted to New York for action by the Security Council. |
The leadership in Tehran has thus far chosen a course of flagrant threats and phony negotiation. They hope that this course would keep the international community divided and [Iran's] nuclear ambitions unchecked. Instead the course they have chosen has left them increasingly isolated and increasingly at risk of meaningful consequences. |
The reason why we are reporting this to the Security Council is to move diplomacy to a new phase so that we can see if we can achieve a political settlement. |
The time has now come for the Security Council to act. Iran has still not come clean. |
The United States believes that it is imperative to move rapidly on an agreement to implement the goals outlined in the joint statement. |
The United States believes that the Security Council's involvement should reinforce the [International Atomic Energy Agency's] role and investigations. As a first step, we envision a call for Iran to cooperate with the agency and to take steps identified by the board to restore confidence. |
There are those who would argue that conversion is not proliferation-significant because it does not produce weapons-grade material, but from our perspective, conversion is another step forward to acquire enrichment capability. |
There's a solid majority in favor of reporting. |
This is not 'face-saving' research and development. This is not meaningful restraint on uranium enrichment development. Instead, under the guise of negotiations, Iran seeks to forge ahead with test centrifuge cascades that will allow Iran to perfect the technology, materials and expertise necessary to produce highly enriched uranium for nuclear weapons. |
We agree with the European Union and a growing majority of the board that the time has come to report Iran's (nuclear) non-compliance to the Security Council. It is now time for the board to do our duty. |
