U.S. Senator Lieberman: impose sanctions on Iran or attack it - (Feb 6, 2010)
Manouchehr Mottaki told a security conference in Munich yesterday that Iran was "serious" about making progress on a deal agreed in principle last October to swap most of its enriched uranium stockpile for fuel rods to use in nuclear power stations. Governments in Europe and the US fear the stockpile could be refined to make nuclear weapons.
But despite Mottaki's assurances, the US defence secretary, Robert Gates, today dismissed the idea that a deal was close and said it might be time to push forward with sanctions.
"The reality is they've done nothing to assure the international community" or "to stop their progress toward (building) a nuclear weapon," Gates said.
"And therefore various nations need to think about whether it is time for a different tack."
