Iran threatens to restart plan for uranium enrichment

IRAN yesterday threatened to restart its uranium enrichment programme if talks with France, Britain and Germany fail today.

“If there is no agreement and negotiations collapse, there is no choice but to restart the programme,” said Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi.

Iran is due to hold talks in London today with Britain, France and Germany, who share Washington’s suspicions that Iran may be planning to develop nuclear arms and want Iran to give up uranium enrichment in return for incentives such as trade deals.
