 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Thursday that part of the reason for his trip to the Middle East this month is "absolutely" about efforts to contain Iran's influence in the region.
Bush said that on his trip that starts next week to Israel and Arab countries he expects questions about a U.S. National Intelligence Estimate last month that said Iran had stopped its nuclear weapons programme in 2003.
"I will clarify to them that the NIE means that Iran is still a danger," he said in an interview at the White House with Reuters. "I will remind them that a country that can suspend a program can easily start a programme."

 BERLIN (AP) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that heading off the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran, with tougher sanctions if needed, remains a "vital interest" for the world community, according to a report Thursday.
Iran's nuclear program is "one of our biggest security policy concerns," Merkel wrote in an article for the daily Handelsblatt, which the newspaper posted on its Web site ahead of print publication on Friday.

 VIENNA (AFP) — Iran should come clean on a 2003 weapons programme alleged in a recent US intelligence report so progress can be made in the nuclear standoff, a US envoy said Friday.
"That's precisely what we're looking for. We're looking for an acknowledgement that they had a nuclear weapons programme," the US permanent representative to the UN nuclear watchdog, Gregory Schulte, told reporters.
"And we're looking for them to cooperate fully with the agency in understanding their current activities," Schulte said.

 NCRI - Belgian news agency, Belga, reported Maryam Rajavi's press conference at the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium, on 18 December 2007.
"Rajavi discussed the latest developments and the Iranian Resistance's legal and political measures to compel the EU Council of Ministers to implement the European Court of Justice ruling to remove the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) from the EU's terror list," Belga said.
"The EU's Court on December 12, 2006, revoked the Council of Ministers' inclusion of the PMOI in the EU terror list. But upon the request and insistence of the United Kingdom, the Council of Ministers refused to implement the court ruling," Belga added.

 FREDERICKSBURG, Virginia (AFP) — US President George W. Bush said Monday that Russian deliveries of nuclear fuel to Iran only fed the need for the world to clamp down more firmly on Tehran's home-grown atomic work.
And the US State Department announced consultations Tuesday with five other powers on a draft UN Security Council resolution imposing tougher sanctions on the Islamic republic for refusing to freeze uranium enrichment.

WHITE HOUSE (AP) - The White House says a Russian shipment of nuclear fuel to Iran is just another reason for Iran to suspend its own enrichment program.
A White House spokesman says if Iran is going to be getting fuels from Russia, it doesn't need its own program.
The U.S. has been pushing the U.N. Security Council to pass a third round of sanctions against Iran for its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment. But that became more difficult when a recent U.S. intelligence report concluded Iran had halted its nuclear weapons development program in 2003 and had not resumed it through at least the middle of this year.

 BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Leaders of the European Union reiterated on Friday their support for possible additional U.N. sanctions against Iran if it fails to give up nuclear enrichment work and repeated an offer of support if it did so.
The statement at a summit in Brussels came despite a U.S. National Intelligence Estimate this month that Iran had stopped its nuclear weapons program in 2003, a surprise announcement diplomats say increased reluctance among already skeptical Russia and China for a third round of sanctions.
