NCRI – Gregory L. Schulte, the U.S. ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, told reporters in London on Thursday that six nations seeking to persuade Iranian regime to halt part of its nuclear program should not sweeten their offer to Tehran during talks next week.<\/p>\n
Schulte said that the United States won't propose making additional offers to Tehran regime when officials from the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany meet in Shanghai, China, next week.<\/p>\n
Schulte said proposals to improve a package of penalties and incentives first offered to Iran in 2006 would likely be discussed. The package that was rejected by Iranian regime, calls for Tehran to suspend uranium enrichment in return for receiving major help in developing civilian nuclear power.<\/p>\n
Schulte said the U.S. has detected a recent hardening of Iran's tone over the nuclear program. "We are a little worried that they are hardening their line in a way that isn't good for the people of Iran," he said.<\/p>\n
Schulte insisted the U.S. seeks a diplomatic, rather than military, solution to the standoff. "I think that the only man who wants a military option is that crazy guy, President Ahmadinejad," he said.<\/p>\n
Political directors from the U.S., China, Russia, France, Germany and the U.K. will meet in Shanghai on April 16.<\/p>\n
